The entire race is 1 full race.
One full race is 1.
He ran 3/8 of 1, so he ran 3/8.
He needs to run the rest of the race.
The rest is unknown, so we call it x.
When you add 3/8 to the unknown, you get the full race.
The equation is
x + 3/8 = 1
Change 1 to a denominator of 8.
x + 3/8 = 8/8
Subtract 3/8 from both sides.
x = 5/8
Answer: He still needs to run 5/8 of the race.
24% because you would make a ratio like x/100= 2,160/9000. So basically the x is the percentage you need, 100 is just an easy factorable percent, and 2,160 is the wheat bread and 9000 is all the bread. Basically what you do with this ratio is you cross multiply. This means you multiply 2,160 by 100 and divide by 9000 and that’s your percent
I know step 5 is (x-2)(x+2)(x+1)
But I don't know what step 4 is.
Im stuck.
Answer:
M=916 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3250-m=1500+2(m-500)
3250-M=1500+2m-1000
3250-M=2M+500
3M=2750
M=916 2/3
