31,50 is 42% os what number

1 answer:

3 0

$\frac{31,50}{x}=\frac{42}{100}$

The right fraction represents the percentage; 42 over 100 (100 is the total), or 0.42.
The left fraction is the part number over the whole number. The whole number is unknown, so we use 'x'.

$\frac{31.50}{x} = \frac{42}{100}\\\\cross\ multiply\\\\31.50\times100=3150\\42\times x=42x\\\\3150=42x\\x=75$
Your answer is 75.

Two children own two-way radios that have a maximum range of 3 miles. One leaves a certain point at 1:00 P.M., walking due north

Grace [21]

Answer:

The answer is 21 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the equation Xf = Xo + vt

1) At 1:00 PM, child one leaves the starting point heading north at a constant velocity of 6 mi/hr or .1 [mi/min] (divide by 60 to convert from [mi/hr] to [mi/min])

2) He walks for 15 minutes before kid 2 starts walking. In 15 minutes he is able to cover 1.5 [mi]

$x_{1f1} =x_{o} +v_{1} t_{1} \\x_{1f1} =0+.1(15)\\x_{1f1} =1.5 [mi]$

3) Now, child 2 starts walking and we know that when the range reaches 3 miles, they won´t be able to communicate. So the sum of the final position of child 1 and child 2 must be 3[mi]
