It is important to do the calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
  = 550/4
  = 137.5
So 55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from outside.This is the simplest way of solving such problems.

55 is 40% of 137.5

Convert your percentage into a decimal:
40%/100 = 0.4

Divide 55 by the decimal: 
55 ÷ 0.4 = 137.5

Two number cubes are rolled for two separate events: 
MatroZZZ [7]

Let us first make the sample space for the event A. The Sample Space will be:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3)

As can be clearly seen the Sample Space for the event A has 30 elements in it.

Now, it is given in the question that the event A has already occurred and we need to find the probability of the event B occurring <u><em>given that the event A has already occurred.</em></u>

Now, as we can see, from the sample space, only 11 events out of the 30 are the events of interest to us. This is shown in bold below:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3)

Thus, the probability that the event B occurs given that the event A has already occurred is:

P(B|A)=\frac{11}{30}\approx0.367

In percentage the required probability is 36.7% approximately.

Explain to me in words how you would find the slope of this line and then tell me the answer and how u got it
Serga [27]

Explanation:

The slope of the line is found by the method: rise/run

You calculate how much the slope rises(goes up) and divide it by run(goes horizontal).

One more thing to note is that: the slope is negative BECAUSE ITS DECREASING.

Your answer:   -3/2

Find the area of the regular 18-gon with a radius of 3 mm. <br> Round to the nearest tenth.
marta [7]

Answer:

this becomes 1/2 * 6 * tan(10) * 3 which results in the area of one of the isosceles triangles is equal to 1.586942826 square units. since there are 18 of these isosceles triangles in the polygon, then multiply this by 18 to get area of the polygon with 18 sides is equal to 28.56497087 square units.

Nathan hit 19 homeruns. He scored 3 fewer homeruns than twice the number of homeruns hit by jason. Write and solve an equation t
Vinvika [58]

Jason hit 11 homeruns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeruns hit by Nathan = 19

Let,

Homeruns hit by Nathan = x

Homerun hit by Jason = y

According to given statement;

x = 2y - 3   Eqn 1

We know that Nathan hit 19 homeruns, therefore, putting x=19 in Eqn 1

19=2y-3\\19+3=2y\\22=2y\\2y=22

Dividing both sides by 2;

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{22}{2}\\y=11

Jason hit 11 homeruns.
