<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 :)

Please help me find the value of each variable in the parallelogram
seropon [69]

Answer:

K=10 H=65

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out K, you need to know that opposite angles are the same, so 5k is the same as 50, 50÷5= 10, so k=10

To work out H, you know that opposite angles are the same so 2h is the same as 130, 130÷2=65 so h=65

Add 8 to both sides
3x=33
Divide both sides by 3 
x=11

If y varies inversely as x and y 27 when x 40 find y when x 10
Iteru [2.4K]
When y varies inversely as x ⇒ y*x=k

y=27 and x=40 ⇒27*40=1080=k

y*10=1080
y=1080:10
y=108

22. Francisco is three years more than twice Jenna's age. Harrison is two years less than three times Jenna's age.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

An expression for Francisco's age in terms of a is (2a+3)

An expression for Harrison's age in terms of a is (3a-2)

An expression for the sum of all  three ages, in terms of a is (6a+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

a -----> Jenna's age

b -----> Francisco's age

c -----> Harrison's age

we know that

Francisco's age is two times Jenna's age plus three years

b=2a+3 -----> equation A

Harrison's age is three times Jenna's age minus two years

c=3a-2 ----> equation B

The sum of all  three ages, in terms of a is

(a+b+c) -----> equation C

substitute equation A and equation B in equation C

a+(2a+3)+(3a-2)

Combine like terms

(a+2a+3a)+(3-2)

6a+1

therefore

An expression for Francisco's age in terms of a is (2a+3)

An expression for Harrison's age in terms of a is (3a-2)

An expression for the sum of all  three ages, in terms of a is (6a+1)

How do you identify the bases of any prism?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Look at the names of the prisms above. Each type of prism is named after its base. In the figure on the left, the base is a rectangle, so it is called a rectangular prism. In the middle, the base is a triangle, so the shape is a triangular prism.
