Answer: 30
Reason: you divide 60=2x which makes x=30
1/3 and 33.3 percent are nearly equivalent. 1/3 is actually equal to 33.33333333% (with never ending 3s at the end), so 1/3 is slightly greater than 33.3% (which has only one 3 after the decimal place).
The ratio given says this - 3 puppies : 2 adults = 5 total dogs
You are given (?) puppies : (?) adults = 80 total dogs
In this case, you are trying to find the number of puppies, so you do not need to care about the number of adults. You need to compare the ratio with the actual amount.
Total/puppies = total/puppies
5/3 = 80/(?)
Now, cross multiply.
5(?) = 240
Divide both sides by 5 and you get your answer.
(?) = 48
Answer:
Each friend receives 41 marbles, Wayne has 180 marbles left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Wayne starts with 303 marbles total. If he decides to give 123 of his marbles away to his friends, we can subtract this amount from his total to get how many he has left:
303 - 123 = 180 marbles left
We also want to know how many marbles each of his three friends receives. Since he wants to split them equally, we need to divide the number he is giving away by 3:
123 ÷ 3 = 41 marbles a piece to each friend
