3/5q = 1 Given
(3/5) 3/5q = 1(3/5) Multiply each side by 3/5 (Mult. Prop. of Equal)
q = 3/5 Simplify
Real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.

<u>Answer:
</u>
The population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured. If the current population is 27,900 .Previous population of city was 45000.
<u>
Solution:
</u>
Given that current population of city is 27900.
Also, population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured.
Let assume that population of city when it was last measured = x
Decreased of 38% means x-38% of x . we can write this as,



So current population is 
Equating above expression to the given value of current population, we get


x=45000
Hence previous population of city was 45000.
