Hey there!
For this problem and problems like these, it's easier just to draw everything out. Once you get the hang of envisioning these drawings in your mind, you won't have to, but when you're starting out on problems like these, it's best to draw yourself little representations of the situation and label everything accordingly.
I have attached such a diagram. Basically, I calculated 40% of 60 inches, then calculated 75% of 40% of 60 inches. Hope my drawing helps you see the situation a little better.
Keep in mind that in order to multiply a whole number by a percentage, you need to convert it to a decimal. As an example, 40% will be converted to 0.40, or just 0.4.
Hope this helped you out!
Answer:
x < 48
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract 3 from both sides of this inequality: x/12 < 4.
Multiply both sides of this inequality by 12 to remove fractions: x < 48
I = the square root of -1, so it would be 7i
You have to find how many times 40 (the denominator) goes into 120 (attempts). That's 3, so you take the numerator (17) and multiply it by that same number. And 17 times 3 is 51.
