18/n = 60%/100% 
18/n = 3/5 
Cross Multiply Then Divide... 

18*5/3 = n 
to get n = 30 

You could find out 1% = 18 ÷ 60 = 0.3 
100% = 100 x 1% = 100 x 0.3 = 30 

the answer is 30

If a angle on the circumference of a circle is subtended by a diameter of the circle what is the angle

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The angle is 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Angle subtended by the diameter

The theorem to solve this is:

The angle subtended by an arc is twice the angle it subtends.

The diameter forms $180^\circ$ on the circle, so we have:

$2*\theta = 180^\circ$

Where $\theta$ is the angle subtended

Solve for $\thets$ $\theta$

$\theta = \frac{180^\circ}{2}$

$\theta = 90^\circ$
