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

The length of a rectangle is twice the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 units, find the area of the garden.

AlexFokin [52]

Perimeter = (length+width) x 2

Let w units be the width of the rectangle.

Length of the rectangle = 2w

Perimeter:
(2w+w) x 2 = 60

(3w)2 = 60

6w = 60

w = 10

Area:
2(10) x 10

= 20 x 10

= 200 units

A circle has a circumference of 361\pi361π361, pi. What is the diameter of the circle?

denpristay [2]

Remember, $C=\pi d$ , where $C$ is circumference and tex]d[/tex] is the diameter. They are related by a constant $\pi$ (pi).

We can solve the above equation for d and then substitute our known values.
$C=\pi d$

$d= \dfrac{C}{ \pi } = \dfrac{361 \pi }{ \pi } = 361 \ units$
