60% of what number is 21

Mathematics
2 answers:
trapecia [35]3 years ago

'of' in mathematics means multiplication
'is' in mathematics means equal

Translating 60% of what number is 21 into an equation, we get:

60% * x = 21

60%, or 60 percent, is 60 over 100 which is 60/100. This can be simplified to 3/5.

3/5 * x = 21

Multiply both sides by 5.

3/5 * 5 * x = 21 * 5

3x = 105

Divide 3 on both sides.

3x/3 = 105/3

x = 35

60% of 35 is 21.

60% of 35 is 21 

Change the percentage (60) into a decimal by dividing it over 100:
\frac{60}{100} = 0.6

Divide 21 by the decimal:
<span>\frac{21}{0.6} = 35</span>

Dan has 4 over 5 cup of ice cream. How many 1 over 8 -cup servings are in 4 over 5 cup of ice cream?
Alik [6]

Answer:

32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we'll have to <em>divide</em> 4/5 <em>by</em> 1/8.

This is 4/5 / 1/8, which is 4/5 * 8.

That equals 32/5 :)

Please help me with these. These are so hard.<br><br>​
LuckyWell [14K]

\bf \textit{difference and sum of cubes} \\\\ a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2) ~\hfill a^3-b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \boxed{a^6+b^6}\implies a^{2\cdot 3}+b^{2\cdot 3}\implies (a^2)^3+(b^2)^3 \\[2em] [a^2+b^2] [(a^2)^2-a^2b^2+(b^2)^2]\implies \boxed{(a^2+b^2)(a^4-a^2b^2+b^4)}

about the second one... well, is a "fait accompli" that using the pythagorean theorem, if x = 8 and y = 5, the hypotenuse must be √(8² + 5²) = √(89), which is neither of those choices.

5, 8, 13 are no dice, namely 5² + 8² ≠ 13

25, 64, 17 is are no dice too, because 25² + 17² ≠ 64²

however, 5,12 and 13 are indeed a pythagorean triple

also is 39, 80, 89.

when looking for a pythagorean triple, recall that c² = a² + b².

so the longest leg is the sum of the square of the small ones.

so what you'd do is, check the small legs, square them, add them up, if they're indeed a pythagorean triple, they "must" add up to the longest leg.

What is £56 divided in a ratio of 3:5?
Luda [366]
First, add the ratio together to get the denominator of the fraction you will use to determine the share. 3+5= 8. Now, you have two fractions: 3/8 and 5/8. Next, just find 3/8 and 5/8 of 56 to get your answers:
(56÷8)×3= <span>£21
</span>and
(56÷8)×5= <span>£35</span>

Evaluate each expression using the values m = 7, r = 8, and t = 2.
user100 [1]

So I'll walk through the first 2. Then please try the other ones and let me know if you run into more problems.

5m-6

If m is equal to 7, then replace m with 7.

5(7)-6

5x7=35 so the expression is now 35-6. Solve.

35-6=29

So that was the first one.

4m+t

We just do what we do with the first problem.

4(7)+(2)

4x7=28 so the expression is 28+2.

28+2=28

---

hope it helps

p.s. When there is subtraction, add. When there is division, multiply to cancel that out. When there is multiplication, divide to cancel. etc.
