60/5=12
The reason this works is because 1/5 of 60 is when 60 is split into 5 equally sized parts and you take just 1 of them. If you divide 60 by 5, you get the number of times that 5 goes into 60. That means that the answer, which is 12, multiplied by 5=60. Because 12 goes in to 60 exactly 5 times, 12 is one of those 5 equal parts that make up 60, so is 1/5 of 60. I know this is a bad explanation, but I hope it helped.

Which of the following inequalities is equivalent to 5 > x?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

What 5 > x means is that the variable x takes values less than 5, we can notice that because the narrow part of the symbol is pointing towards x, which means x is smaller than 5.

Analyzing the options:

  • x> 5 this tells us that x takes values greater than 5, which in fact is the opposite of what we are looking for.
  • 5 <x this also tells us that x takes values greater than 5, not what we are looking for.
  • x < 5 this option does represent the same as 5 > x because in both the narrow part of the symbol points to x, indicating that x is smaller than 5, therefore this is the correct option

Imma has made these photocopies of a drawing of a shape the photocopies are different sizes
mylen [45]

Answer:

x=2.5

y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you have the same question as me on mathswatch.

First, do 6 divided by 5. This gets you 1.2.

Then do 3 divided by 1.2 to find the length of x.

To find y, you have to do 3 divided by 5, this gets you 0.6

Divide 6 by 0.6 to get your answer of 10.

I hope this helps and is not too late :)
