Sid walked 6 miles, which is 3/5 of the total distance.
Divide 6 with 3
6/3 = 2
2 miles is the walking distance for 1/5
Multiply 5 to both sides
2 (x 5) = 1/5 (x 5)
10 = 1
The total distance is 10 miles
hope this helps
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Prove that the two circles below are similar
B is doubled in sizer then d
Hehehehe
Hahaha
Eat eat eat ugly ah glad to help
I did the quiz
Answer is 553 beasts
Step by step:
Multiply 158 by 3 to get 474
Divide 158 by 2 to get 79
Add 474 with 79 and get 553
