A farmer plants 12,000 corn seeds. 92% of the seeds developed into plants. How many plants did he grow?

1 answer:

3 0

92%=92/100
we need to find x by cross multiplication
x/12,000=92/100
100x=92*12000
100x=1104000
(divide both sides by 100)
x=11,040
The farmer grew 11,040 plants.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third one is 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the length of the 3 pieces, knowing that the total of the board is 40 inches, and that the second measures 3 times more than the first and the third measures 4 times more than the first, the following equation must be performed:

X + 3X + 4X = 40

8X = 40

X = 40/8

X = 5

Therefore, the first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third 20 inches.
