Answer:
There are 1240 students at Washington middle school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentages and Portions
We can find portions of a whole by correctly managing the percentages of each part. We know 25% of all students at Washington middle school were on the honor roll. From that portion, 60% of the students are seventh graders. That means 40% of the 25% are eight graders, i.e. 40*25%=10% were from eight grade.
We have 10% of all students are 124, thus the number of students are 124/10%=1240
There are 1240 students at Washington middle school.
Let's test the answer. 25% of 1240 students are on the honor roll, which is 310 students. 40% of 310 students are from 8th grade, 40%*310 = 124 as stated in the problem
Answer:
If both dimensions are being multiplied by three than the area will be 9 times the original.
If only one side is being multiplied by tree, the area will be 3 times the original
(x+6)2 = x - 8

Kulay, there is no such thing as a "step by step answer" here. You seem to want a "step by step solution."
I must assume that by 4/5 you actually meant (4/5) and that by 2/3 you meant (2/3). Then your equation becomes:
(4/5)w - 12 = (2/3)w.
The LCD here is 5*3, or 15, so mult. every term by 15:
12w - 180 = 10w.
Add 180 to both sides, obtaining 12 w - 180 + 180 = 10w + 180.
Then 12w = 10w + 180. Simplifying, 2w = 180. What is w?
