Sid walked 6 miles, which is 3/5 of the total distance.
Divide 6 with 3
6/3 = 2
2 miles is the walking distance for 1/5
Multiply 5 to both sides
2 (x 5) = 1/5 (x 5)
10 = 1
The total distance is 10 miles
hope this helps
Hello There!
-What We Know-
Erin made 66 deviled eggs for a party.
After an hour 8 eggs were left.
X amount of eggs were eaten within the first hour.
——————————————————————————
We subtract 8 eggs how many were left after the hour
From how many eggs we had in total.
66-8=58.
58 eggs were eaten within the hour.
<span>x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0
factors
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0
</span>Set (x - 6) and (x + 2)<span> equal to </span><span>0</span><span> and solve for </span><span>xx</span>.<span>
x - 6 = 0; x = 6
x + 2 = 0; x = -2
answer
x = -2 or x = 6</span>
14 trout out of 50 total fish. The total amount of fish in the lake is 7500. Let’s make this into a proportion.
14/50=x/7500
x represents how much trout is in the lake, we don’t know yet, but we’ll find out.
First, cross multiply.
14*7500=105000
50*x=50x
Now let’s turn this into an equation.
50x=105000
Divide both sides by 50
50x/50=x
105000/50=2100
x=2100
Out of the 7500 fish in the lake, 2100 were trouts.
Orig - .15 * orig = 22.27
.85 * orig = 22.27
Original price = 26.20
