46.2
you do 70/100=x/66
then cross multiply so (70•66)=100x
then you get 4620=100x
then you divide both sides by 100 and get x=46.2
Answer:
The correct answer is D. -2,592, -15,552, -93,312
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the terms is the previous term multiplied by 6. You can find this by taking any term and dividing it by the one before it. The answer will always be 6.
-72/-12 = 6
-12/-2 = 6
So, in order to find the next 3, we take the last term and multiply it by 6.
-432 * 6 = -2,592
-2,592 * 6 = -15,552
-15,552 * 6 = -93,312
The answer is A. Subtract the five on both sides and you end up with A :)
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Carson had x number of apples to start with.
He gave 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has (2/3)x apples left.
He gave 1/2 of what was left to Nikki. Now Carson has (1/2)(2/3)x = (2/6)x = (1/3)x apples.
On the way home, he dropped 1/4, so he has 3/4 of the last amount he had, and the number is 9.
(3/4) * (1/3)x = 9
3/12 x = 9
1/4 x = 9
x = 36
Answer: He picked 36 apples.
Check:
Start with 36 apples.
Give 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has 24 apples.
Give 1/2 to Nikki. Now Carson has 12 apples.
Drop 1/4. 1/4 of 12 is 3. 12 - 3 = 9.
Hew only had 9 apples left, so 36 is correct.
