Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the unit rate for this painting:
3/5 of wall surface 3/5 15 9
------------------------------- = --------------- * --------- = -----------
(8/15) hour 8/15 15 8
Jane could actually paint the whole wall plus 1/8 more of it in one hour.
Answer: 31.25%
Step-by-step explanation: To answer the question <em>what percent of 80 is 25</em>, we translate the question into an equation.
So we have "what percent" that's x, "of 80" means times 80, "is 25" = 25.
Now to solve for <em>x</em>, since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 80, we need to divide by 80 on both sides of the equation. On the left side of the equation the 80's cancel and we have <em>x</em> and on the right side of the equation, we have 25 ÷ 80 which gives us 0<em>.</em>3125. Now, remember that we want to right our answer as a percent so to write 0.3125 as a percent, we move the decimal point 2 places to the right and we get 31.25%.
Therefore, 31.25% of 80 is 25.
Rate x time = distance
25 x 35/60 = distance (35/60 is 35 minutes out of an hour- 60 minutes)
25/1 x 7/12 = distance (I put the 25 over 1 and reduced 35/60)
175/12 ≈ 14.58 miles
Notice that the time had to be in a fraction of an hour in order to do this.
