5 1/4% of what number is 12.6?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mama L [17]3 years ago
6 0

bearing in mind that 5¼ is just 5.25 converted to decimal.

let's say the number is "x", thus "x" is the 100%.

12.6 is 5.25%, what is the 100%? namely "x"?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 12.6&5.25 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12.6}=\cfrac{100}{5.25}\implies 5.25x=1260 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1260}{5.25}\implies x=240

14/1 ÷ 3/8 = please show work and answer fast​
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 37 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

14/1÷3/8=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

14/1 × 8/3=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

14×8/1×3 = 112/3

This fraction cannot be reduced.

The fraction

112/3

is the same as

112÷3

Convert to a mixed number using

long division so

112/3=37 1/3

Therefore:

14/1 ÷ 3/8=37 1/3
