A basket contains 12 apples and some other fruit
40% of the total fruit are apples...so 40% of the total fruit is 12..
0.40x = 12....with x being the total fruit in the basket <== ur equation
x = 12 / 0.40
x = 30....and u have 30 pieces of fruit in the basket
The answer would be the first one or 3y2, this is because it goes into each term evenly enough to simplify it.
Answer:
height = 13.75 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
use the Pythagorean theorem
hypotenuse^2 =base^2 + height^2
15^2 = 6^2+height^2
225 = 36 + height^2
189 = height^2
height = 13.75 feet
Answer:
x/2=87.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Pip was thinking of a number - Let's call this number x
Pip halve the number - So half of x = x/2 (or 1/2 x)
And gets an answer of 87.2 - x/2=87.2
So your equation would be x/2=87.2
I hope this helps :)
If the total amount of points in a test is 140, and we want to find 10% of those points, we can do the following to figure out how much points the question is worth...
