Percent mean parts out of 100
0.2%=0.2/100=0.02/10=0.002/1=0.002
'of' means multiply
'what number'=x
'is' means '='
so
0.2% of what number is 12
0.002 times x=12
divide both sides by 0.002
x=6000
the number is 6000
Answer:
1/2.(x+12)=4x-1
x+12=2(4x-1)
x+12=8x-2
Group like terms
12+2=8x-x
14=7x
Divide both sides by 7
x=2

Answer:
2 hrs, 24 min
Step-by-step explanation:
Sally: in one hour, she can paint 1/4 of the room.
Joe: in one our, he can paint 1/6 of the room
Hour one: 1/4+1/6=3/12+2/12=5/12
1÷5/12=1*12/5=12/5
12/5= 2 & 2/5 hours, or 2.4 hours, or 2 hrs 24 minutes
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- The speed of the boat in the lake = x
- The speed of the current = 3 km/h
<u>Required equation:</u>
- 54 / (x + 3) + 42 / (x - 3) = 96/x
- 9x(x - 3) + 7x(x + 3) = 16(x + 3)(x - 3)
- 9x² - 27x + 7x² + 21x = 16x² - 144
- 6x = 144
- x = 144/6
- x = 24 km/h
