4 0

Answer:

1000 readers

Step-by-step explanation:

40 people represent 4% of the total number of readers.

4% is 1/25 of 100%, therefore:

4% x 25 = 100%

So, if we multiply the number of people that represent 4% by 25, we will get the total number (100%).

40 x 25 = 1,000

The newspaper has 1000 total readers.

Alternatively, you could also divide 4% (40) by 4 which would give you 1%=10. Multiply this by 100 to get 100% which gives us: 100% = 1000.

Hope this helped!

Luis skates 2/3 mile from his home to school. Isabella skates 2/4 mile to get to school. Who skates father?
iogann1982 [59]
In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.

The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12.  This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.

To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions.  We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8

Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.

If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.

Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school.  Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators.  We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
