To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!
It is given in the question that,
A flower garden has 12 sunflowers for every 45 irises.
And we have to find the unit rate for the number of irises per sunflower.
And for that we have to divide number of Irises by number of Sunflower. That is
And that's the required unit rate .
Format: y = mx + b
m = slope, b = y intercept
Solution: slope: -2, y intercept: 0
Answer:
y = 3/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the slope of the line
We have point (0,0) and point (4,3)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (3-0)/(4-0)
=3/4
The y intercept is 0 since it crosses the y axis at 0
The slope intercept form of the line is
y = mx+b
y = 3/4x +0
y = 3/4x

Answer: 5/51</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
We have 6 green out of 6+6+6 = 18 total
The probability of getting green is 6/18 = 1/3.
After selecting that green jelly bean and not putting it back, we have 6-1 = 5 green out of 18-1 = 17 total.
The probability of selecting another green is 5/17.
Multiply the two fractions 1/3 and 5/17
(1/3)*(5/17) = (1*5)/(3*17) = 5/51
The probability of selecting two greens in a row is 5/51 where we do not put the first selection back. We also do not replace the green jelly bean with some other identical copy.
Note: 5/51 = 0.098039 approximately
