To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.

We know to each pound of such, there is 16 packets produced per?
So, 16 x 40 = 640.
The answer is 5 . because if you count the # it will go to 28
Group first 2 and group last 2 and find factors and undistribute
(4x^3+x^2)+(-8x-2)
(x^2)(4x+1)+(-2)(4x+1)
x^2(4x+1)-2(4x+1)
answer is first one
Answer:
times -6
Explanation... 2 x 10-6 x -6=56
6 x 10-4=56
