Question

Hi I need help with this problem. But it has to be shown with work. Does anyone know?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4 or 2/5???

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this is a proportion/ratio problem.

Think of it like this:

x/6 = 10/150

To solve for x, you must cross multiply:

150x = 6*10 (150x... DON'T write 150*x, that is nonsense)

150x = 60

     x = 60/150  (you divide because you are actually dividing 150 on both sides and doing the opposite operation of multiplication)

     x = 6/15

     x = 2/5 or 0.4  (I simplified it)

Hopefully this helped? I can't seem to find a whole number answer... so the only options I could do are 2/5 or 0.4

Answer 2

Answer:

its is 90

Step-by-step explanation:

6x10=60    150-60=90
