Answer:

W = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

since you want to solve for W, you want to get it by itself

to get the 8w alone, add 17 to both sides of the equation

8w - 17 + 17 = 23 + 17

8w = 40

now, to get the w by itself, divide both sides by 8

$\frac{8w}{8}=\frac{40}{8}$

$w= \frac{40}{8}=5$

The total rainfall in Forks, Washington, this October was 8 3/8 in. In September, 60% less rain fell than in October.

lakkis [162]

Given:
October: 8 3/8 inches
September : 60% less rain fell than in October.

This means that only 40% rain fell in September based on the amount of rain that fell in October.

8 3/8 ⇒ (8*8)+3/8 = 67/8
40% is 4/10

67/8 * 4/10 = 268/80 = 3 28/80 or 3 7/20 or 3.35

28 ÷ 2 = 14
80 ÷ 2 = 40
14 ÷ 2 = 7
40 ÷ 2 = 20

In September 3 7/20 inches or 3.35 inches of rain fell.
