Step-by-step explanation:
x = the number
2x - 25 = x
2x = x + 25
x = 25
<span>Length of outer track = sum of length of 10 pieces = circumference of the outer circle
if R is the Radius of outer circle then...
Circumference of the outer track = 2pi*R
Similarly the circumference of the inner track (with radius r) = 2pi*r
length of each outer piece is 3.4 inch more than length of inner piece
So total outer length is 10*3.4 =34 inches more than the inner length.
=> Outer Circumference - Inner Circumference = 34 inches
=> 2pi*R - 2pi*r = 34
=> 2pi(R -r) = 34
=> R-r = 34/2pi = 5.41 inches
=> R-r = Width of the track = 5.41 inches</span>
1) Work out what 1/5 of 12 is
To do this, we divide 12 by 5
12/5 = 2.4
2) Multiply 2.4 by 15
2.4 x 15 = 36
<em>If you don't like decimals, you can also do it this way...
</em>
This can be rewritten as 15 x 1/5 x 12
Multiplications alone can be performed in any order
1) Work out what 1/5 of 15 is
1/5 of 15
15/5 = 3
2) 3 multiplied by 12
3 x 12 = 36
