3/5 of a number decreased by one is 23. What is the number?

1 answer:

5 0

You can set up an equation based off of the information given:

x represents the unknown number

3/5x - 1 = 23

add 1 to both sides to isolate the 3/5x

3/5x = 24

divide both sides by 3/5 to solve for x

x = 120/3

120/3 can be simplified into 40

Final answer: x = 40

Suppose the circumference of a circle is \color{blue}{16\pi}16πstart color blue, 16, pi, end color blue. what is its radius?

Sauron [17]

<span>The circumference of a circle is equal to its diameter multiplied by pi. Since the circumference here is 16*pi, the diameter of the circle is 16 units. The diameter of a circle is two times the radius, so we divide 16 in half and find our result that the radius is 8 units.</span>
