To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
A) 0.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's summarize into an equation the information we can get from that table.
We have 4 liters of an acid of an unknown concentration, let's call it (4x).
We have 10 liters of an acid with known concentration of 0.40.
And we have a total of 14 liters overall with a concentration of 0.3o.
That's like a weighted average formula: 4x + 10 y = 14z
Let's replace the concentration values we know and solve this:
4x + 10 (0.4) = 14 * 0.3
4x + 4 = 4.2
4x = 0.2
x = 0.05
So, the concentration of the 4 liters of acid on concentration X are in fact of concentration of 0.05.
Answer:
y = -1 ?
Step-by-step explanation:
y+10= 18/2
y+10=9
y=9-10
y=-1
height = tan(11) x 210
height = 40.81 yards
rounded to nearest tenth = 40.8 yards
