Answer:
So 60% of this unknown number is 28
Let this unknown number be n
60/100 × n = 28
0.60 × n = 28
n = 28/0.6
n = 46.7
To the nearest wholw number is 47
So there are 47 votes in total
Answer:
11.4
20/100 = x/57
Step-by-step explanation:
It is perhaps simplest just to translate the given English sentence into a mathematical sentence.
... 20% ... ... of ... 57 ... is ... what number
... 20/100 ... × ... 57 .... = ... what number . . . . . . . . translation to math sentence
... 11.4 = what number . . . . . . . . carry out the multiplication
_____
If you're asked to write this as a proportion, you can write it like this:
You can solve this proportion by multiplying by 57 (the denominator under "what number"). Doing so gives you the same arithmetic sentence as shown above.
If you would like to know how many centimeters are 27 millimeters, you can calculate this using the following steps:
1 cm ... 10 mm
x cm = ? ... 27 mm
1 * 27 = 10 * x
27 = 10 * x /10
x = 27/10
x = 2.7 cm
The correct result would be 2.7 cm.
The least amount is the smallest amount, 1/8.
