Answer:
height ×base divided by two
It means your solving for x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The word "more" in this context means we want to find the difference between the number Daria has and the number Julia has. It is an "additive" comparison.
____
You need to be a little careful with this. You will often see wording such as "... <em>times more</em> than ...", in which case it is a multiplicative comparison. (I would prefer the multiplicative comparison wording to be "... times as many as ...", so that "more" is reserved for additive comparisons. Alas, not in this lifetime.)
100%/x%=20/15
(100/X)*x=20/15*x --I multiply both sides of the equation by X
100=1.33333333333*x --I divided both sides of the equation by .........................................(1.33333333333) to get X
100/1.33333333333=x
75=x
x=75
15 is 75% of 20
If you are having trouble with ratios you can look at them as fractions. The first number being the numerator and the second number being the denominator or the other way around. When you are asked to find an equivalent ratio, you just have to find an equivalent fraction.
