You can set up a proportion to solve for the percentage of the coins that are pennies. Of course, there are alternate methods as well, but this is one method. First, you define the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be equal to a variable, such as x. Next, you write 240/600 = x/100, due to how "x" is the amount out of 100 (since per cent is for every cent (out of 100)), and 240 would correspond to x while 600 would correspond to 100. This proportion may also be written as 100/x = 600/240, or 240/x = 600/100. In order to solve for x, you use cross-products, or you multiply each denominator by the numerator of the other fraction. You will be left with a numerical value that's equal to a number times x, and then you divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x in order to isolate x. As a result, you will have the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be your answer. Remember to write the units for every numerator and denominator in your proportion.

To find percent divide 240/600 then * 100
240/600 = .4
.4 * 100 = 40%

the ratio of adults to children attending a new exhibit st the museum was found to be 8:5. Based on this ratio if 390 people att

Natali5045456 [20]

First, you add the two parts of the ratio together. 8+5=13. Then you do 390 divided by 13 which is 30. After this, you multiply 30 by each side to get the ratio to be equal. 30x8=240, and 30x5=150. This can now be put into the ratio 240:150. As you said it was in the ratio adults to children, it must stay in that order. The part of the ratio for children is 150.
The answer to your question is 150. You can double-check your answer by adding up the two parts again. 240=150=390 so you can be assured that your answer is truly correct. Thank you for uploading this question. I hope my explanation was helpful enough for you

Multiply x^1/4 times x^5/8

Leno4ka [110]

Multiplying exponents with the same base means we just have to add the exponents. We can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 2 to get 2/8, and adding 2/8 and 5/8, we get 7/8. So x^1/4 times x^5/8 is x^7/8.
