So a number (x because unknown) divided by 40 (x divided into 40 parts or x/40) has a quotient of 6 with a remainder of 16 (answer=6 with 16 remainder)
remember that remainder is not involved in division, just leftover
x/40=6+16 remainder
to get rid of the fraction, multiply the whole equation by 40 and add the remainder (since it wasn't involved in division)
x=240+16
x=256
check: use calculator/head
number=256
The answer is 46 people because you have to multiply 40X.15 to get 6. Then you add 40+6=46
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 15 = 3x + 10
3x + 10 = 2x + 15
3x - 2x = 15 - 10
x = 5
No because solids can't transmit heat by convection, and convection only works because of hotter and quicker moving molecules have a lower density so they rise to the surface. But in a solid, the molecules can't move relative to each other. They only vibrate :)
