<span>40% * x = 24 

We simply the 40% into either 2/5 (40/100) or 0.40. I will show both ways: 

(using 2/5) 

(2/5)x = 24 

We multiply each side by 5, and divide by 2 (or multiply by 5/2) 

(5/2)(2/5)x = 24(5/2) = (10/10)x = 120/2 

Simplified, we get x = 60. So 40% of 60 is 24. 

Here is the same problem again, this time written out with 0.40 instead of 2/5 

0.40(x) = 24 

(I like to multiply by 100 to get an even 40 instead of .40, so I am going to multiply each side by 100 to make things a little easier). 

40x = 2400 

Divide each side by 40 to isolate x 

x = 2400/40 

We simply to get x = 60, the same answer.  s</span><span>oo 24 is 40% of 60 :)

Anyone good at explaining surface area and volume in 9th grade geometry ?
mario62 [17]
I hope this helps. In in 7th grade, but this is what I think would help! The volume of a rectangular prism equation is vplume =length × width × height. Or volume = area of the base (B) × height. That is volume. Surface area is Surface Area = LW×LW×LH×LH×HW×HW. That is for a rectangular prism.

Answer:

The answer is 1 over 5

Step-by-step explanation:

10 divided by 5 equals 2. That is your width. The same rule applies to your height. So you would get 10 over 50 which simplif equals 1 over 5.
