30%
percent means parts out of 100 so 30%=30/100=3/10
42 is 3/10 of x
'of' can be translated to multiply
42=3/10 times x
multiply both sides by 10/3 to get rid of fraction
420/3=x
140=x
the number is 140
The two consecutive odd integers would be 117 + 119 = 236.
So the answer would be 117 since it is the smaller integer out of the 2.
Hope this helped! :)
<span>Doug and Ken are driving at the same rate but they are coming from different places, with different distances. Since Doug takes t minutes and he is traveling 5 miles, his equation will be t=5x with x being the rate. Since Ken takes m minutes and he is traveling 7 miles, his equation will be m=7x with x being the rate. The equation that represents their travel would be 7/m = 5/t = x.</span>
