Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can break down the percent and the time into a fraction

You can divide it by 2

so 2%/1   (2% in 1 minute)

Then you find the amount of time it would take to paint the whole bookcase

2 * 100 = 50

So time to paint the whole bookcase would be 50

50 - 20 = 30

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

He paints 40% of the bookcase in 20 minutes.

The rest of the bookcase is 100% - 40% = 60%.

60% of the bookcase still needs painting.

40% is to 20 minutes as 60% is to x minutes

40/20 = 60/x

Reduce the fraction on the left side.

2 = 60/x

Multiply both sides by x.

2x = 60

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 30

Answer: 30 minutes

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of 21 miles per hour. What is this rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the cyclist
Citrus2011 [14]
5 days ago, hope this still helps though! 

Alright 21 miles per hour. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour. So this is basically saying 21 miles per 60 minutes. To find the rate for miles per minute, you divide 21 by 60 which is 0.35. 

In one minute the cyclist rides 0.35 miles
In two minutes the cyclist rides 0.7 miles
