You can answer this question in numerous ways but one simple way is by multiplying fractions.
<span>2/3 of 24 is also 2/3 of 24/1 </span>
<span>To get the answer, you must multiply 2/3 by 24/1 </span>
<span>To do this, you multiply the numerator (the top number) by the other numerator. That is, 2 x 24 . The answer is 48. </span>
<span>Then, multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) by each other. That is, 3 x 1. The answer is 3. </span>
<span>The answer is 48/3. But you must continue simplifying. </span>
<span>What is 48 divided by 3? 16. </span>
<span>If you do not understand it that way, think of it in a simpler way. </span>
<span>Say there are 24 slices of pieces. </span>
<span>What is one third of those 24 slices? </span>
<span>24 divided by 3 = 8. </span>
<span>Now you want TWO thirds. So all you do is multiply 8 by 2. </span>
<span>That gives you 16.

Answer:
$12
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 25% means 25 out of 100, which can be represented by 25/100 or 1/4.
To get the discount we multiply 48 by 1/4 which is 48/4 = $12
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
When trying to figure this out, you may see that x might be 8. Since the angels are all 120 degrees and equal up to 360 degrees (full size,) x will equal 8.
First, divide the percent by 100. Then if the percent is not a whole number, then multiply the top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. :)
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, the catch of this question is that they do a very good job of explaining Maria's age in terms of George's age, but they leave George's age in terms of Maria's all up to you.
First start off by doing an expression of what they explicitly give you. Maria's age in terms of George's age.
Let's use variables g, representing George's age and m representing Maria's age
m = 2g + 3
Okay, this is all dandy and all, but they ask us for George's age in terms of Maria's, so we need to isolate for g.
subtract the 3 from both sides, like so:
m - 3 = 2g
then divide 2 from both sides: (remember we're dividing the whole thing)
(m-3)/2 = g
Now we have an expression for George's age in terms of Maria's.
g = (m-3)/2 or 
The answer that gives us this, is C.
