24/.375 = 64, the answer is no.
N% x 1.60 = 6 (I turned it from English to math)
Can't move n% back two places to make it a decimal so I will move the number I am multiplying by n% back two places instead.
Here is a sample to show you why it works. .34 x 57 = 34 x .57
So
.016n = 6 (.016 is 1.60 decimal moved back two places)
Now divide both sides by .016
<u>.016</u>n = <u>6
</u><u />.016 .016 n = 375%
Why is the percent over 100% you might ask?
What % of 1.60 is 1.60 (Answer - all of it or 100%)
So What % of 1.60 is 6 - the number 6 being much bigger than 1.60, it is not surprising that the percent is more than 100.
What % of 1.60 is 1.60 - 100%
What % of 1.60 is 3.20 - 200% (notice that 3.20 is twice 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 4.80 - 300% (notice that 4.80 is three times 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 6.40 - 400% (notice that 6.40 is four times 1.60)
6 (the number in the problem) is just a bit less than 6.40 so 375% makes a lot a sense.
Hope you found this helpful.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(b)
30n - 12 ( factor out the gcf 6 from each term )
= 6(5n - 2) ← in factored form
(c)
6x + 9y ( factor out the gcf 3 from each term )
= 3(2x + 3y) ← in factored form
'of' in mathematics means multiplication
'is' in mathematics means equal
52% * x = 13
52/100 * x = 13
0.52x = 13
x = 13/0.52
x = 25
52% of 25 days is 13 days.
