Three-sevenths of a number is 21. Find the number

2 answers:

7 0

You can set up a proportion that looks like 3/7 = x/21. X being the number that you are trying to find. Seven goes into 21 three times. So multiply 3 also by that 3 to get 9. So three sevenths of twenty-one is 9.

Answer:

the answer is 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking what the original number is. So its not 9. If you do a inverse operation which is 2 divided by 3/7 you get 49. To check your work if you multiply 49 by 3/7 you get 21.

Answer:

Hi there I was just working on this question on UsaTestPrep and idk if the answer is really correct but here: C: reflection then rotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Extra Info:

Dilation is when the shape changes in size, which doesn't happen.

Translation is when it just moves across. It may look like that is happening here, but I'll explain.

The triangle is first reflected along the line . Imaging putting a mirror on the x=0 line (the y axis, basically), and you'd see 1 to 2.

Then, it is rotated around the point . Get a bit of tracing paper, draw over 2, and then, holding the tracing paper down at (works well with a pencil), rotate it round and you will find it fits perfectly over 3.

Also is this the diagram?
