Step-by-step explanation:. The first says “I know that 10 is one-tenth of 100. I will therefore divide 50 by 10. The answer is 5”.
This is fine when the numbers are relatively simple. But suppose the numbers are more complicated.
What is 22% of 46?
Now it’s much less straightforward. You can’t just work out what 22% is, expressed as a fraction, and anyway, it’s not a simple fraction.
Instead, you have to divide 46 into 100 equal parts, and work out what 22 of them would be when added together.
So: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46 [remember, when you divide by 100, you move the decimal point two places to the left].
0.46 × 22 = 10.12
Answer: 22% of 46 is 10.12.

Answer:
X = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 X (5X-8) = -9
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
2 X 1/2 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)
1 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)
Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2
5 x -8 = 2 x (-9)
5 x -8 = -18
Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides
5X -8 + 8=-18 + 8
Then eliminate the opposites
5X = -18 + 8
Calculate the sum
5X = -10
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
5X DIVIDE 5 = -10 DIVIDE BY 5
X = -10 DIVIDE BY 5
X = -2
The answer is 10 because it had
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion a mixed number 2 1/
2
to a improper fraction: 2 1/2 = 2 1/
2
= 2 · 2 + 1/
2
= 4 + 1/
2
= 5/
2
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 2. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 2/
2
= 4/
2
b) Add the answer from previous step 4 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 4 + 1 = 5
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 5) over the denominator 2.
Two and one half is five halfs
