Miguel tells his teacher1/5 is the same as 20%. Which best justifies Miguel’s answer? a.5 goes into 100 twenty times, so 20% is

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

C. 5 goes into 100 twenty times, and 1 times 20 is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that when we multiply both numerator and denominator of a fraction by a same number then we obtain an equivalent fraction,

Here, the given fraction,

$\frac{1}{5}$

By the above statement,

$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times 20}{5\times 20}=\frac{20}{100}$

Now,

$a\%=\frac{a}{100}$

$\implies \frac{20}{100}=20\%$

Hence,

$\frac{1}{5}=20\%$

Option C is correct.

The sum of 3 integers is 194. the sum of the first and second integers exceeds the third by 80. The third integer is 45 less tha

kirill115 [55]

Let
x = first integer
y = second integer
z = third integer
First equation: x + y + z = 194
Second equation: x + y = z + 80
Third equation: z = x - 45

Let's find the values of x, y and z.
Substitute 3rd eq to 1st eq:
x + y + x - 45 = 194
2x + y = 45 + 194
y = -2x + 239

Plug in both we have solved for y and the 3rd eq to the 2nd eq to find x
x + (-2x + 239) = (x - 45) + 80
x - 2x - x = -45 + 80 - 239
-2x = -204
x = -204/-2
x = 102

Solving for y,
y = -2(102) + 239
y = 35

Solving for z,
z = 102 - 45
z = 57

If 3 is added to a number and multiplied the result by 5 gives 55 what is the number

MakcuM [25]

Answer:24

Step-by-step explanation:Let the number we seek be X.

We are Given:

1). (5X+3 ) x (2) = 30

Expand and Rearrange.

(10X +6 ) = 30.

10X = 24.

2). X equals 2.4 . This is the answer for the number we seek.

Always check the answer.

This is Good Working Practice ALWAYS.

For Exams or similar remember:

Presentation (Neat & Tidy), Method & Layout (Show you understand), Accuracy.

All these count in most exams.

The first two points help greatly if your Answer is in error, but your METHOD Is CLEAR & CORECT.

Similarly, if the Check is wrong, mention this, but also, if the case, mention e.g. time ran out .. You may be credited as AWARE if your presentation and Method show you understood what to do and why.

CHECK: Substitute the answer for X into the original equation 1).

Equn. 1). (5X +3)*2 = 30.

Put in the value for X. Expand & Re-arrange.

(( 5 ).( 2.4 ) + ( 3 ).( 2 ) = 30.

( 12 + 6 ) = 30.

24 = 24. Checked & Agreed.

That’s about it.

How many more equal angles does a square have than a rectangle?

leva [86]

A rectangle, is a quadrilateral with all angles at 90°.

a square is a quadrilateral with all equal sides, and right-angles all around.

now, the rectangle as well as the square, have all right-angles, the only difference is that the square has all equal-length sides, whilst a rectangle can have pairs of sides that vary in length.

Help me please help

That would be A :D It would be A because you would do keep change flip. You would keep 5/6, change the division sign to multiplication, then flip the 5/16 to 16/5 (the reciprocal)
