If 30% of John's photographs were perfect, but 210 photographs were not perfect, then how many photographs were there in all?
anyanavicka [17]
If 30% were perfect, 70% were not perfect.  So we know that 70% of the total number of photographs is 210.

p(70/100)=210  multiply both sides by 100

70p=21000  divide both sides by 70

p=300

So there are 300 photographs in all.

a mug is 2/7 full. The mug contains 1/3 of a cup of water. Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fraction or mixed
Ahat [919]

Answer:

7/6 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information :

Mug is 2/7 full

Amount of water in the mug = 1/3 cup

Assume the full capacity of the mug = m

Then the current capacity of water in mug = (2/7) of m = (2/7)m

Current capacity of water in mug is equivalent to 1/3 cup of water

Hence,

(2/7)m = 1/3

2m/7 = 1/3

Cross multiply

(2m * 3) = 7 * 1

6m = 7

m = 7/6

m = 1 1/6 cups

Brianna has 4 pink bracelets. One third of all her bracelets are pink. How many bracelets does brianna have?
aivan3 [116]
Hey there!

Let's first evaluate this problem, and the keyword we need to use. The problem says that out of the total number of bracelets Brianna has, x, 1/3 of them are pink. The reason the word of is so important throughout math is that it signifies multiplication. For example, 1/2 of 10 is 5 because 1/2 times 10 is 5.

Now, to apply that to this situation, we need to create an equation, a mathematical statement that indicated the equilibrium or equality of two values. Since we have 1/3 of all her bracelets, x is four, we can set up our equation. Here's another good keyword- is. Is signifies an equation, because it means "equal to" mathematically. For example, 5 is equal to 20/4.

We have:

1/3(x) = 4 

(One-third of x, the total amount of bracelets, is four.)

We don't want that fraction there. In order to get rid of it and keep the expression equal, we multiply both sides by 3. We have,

x = 12

Hope this helps!
