An example should make this clear.
If $50 is 40% what is the value of the whole amount?
Answer:- Whole amount = 100^%
By proportion this = (100/ 40) * 50
= 2.5 * 50
= $125 (answer)
Answer:
Mr. Smiths class has 12 students and Mrs. Brown's class has 10 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
if 1/3 of the class is absent and that amount is four you would multiply 4 by 3 and get 12. If 2/5 of the class are missing and there 4 students first you would divide 4 by 2 and get 2, then you would take the 2 and multiply it by 5 and get 10.
5/12-2/5=25/60-24/60
1/60
the answer is 1/60
Let
x------> the length side of the square base of the box
y-------> the height of the box
we know that
volume of the box=b²*h
b=x
h=y
volume=256 cm³
so
256=x²*y------>y=256/x²--------> equation 1
<span>The amount of material used is directly proportional to the surface area, so we will minimize the amount of material by minimizing the surface area.</span>
surface area of the cardboard=area of the base+perimeter of base*height
area of the base=x²
perimeter of the base=4*x
height=y
surface area=x²+4x*y-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
SA=x²+4x*[256/x²]-----> SA=x²+1024/x
step 1
find the first derivative of SA and equate to zero
2x+1024*(-1)/x²=0------> 2x=1024/x²----> x³=512--------> x=8 cm
y=256/x²------> y=256/8²-----> y=4 cm
the answer is
the length side of the square base of the box is 8 cm
the height of the box is 4 cm
The answer is 18 cm because 2.4 cm is in 1 inch. you must multiply 7.5 by 2.4 and get 18
