17 ½ % of 240
First option
Change the fraction ½
to a decimal. It would be 0.5 ( 1 divided by 2)
½=0.5
You will add the whole number 17 to the result.
17 + 05 = 17.5
Now you will divide by 100 (percent)
17.5 /100 To divide a
decimal by 100, move the decimal point two
places to the left.
17.5 /100 = 0.175 times 240
0.175 x 240 = 42
Second option
Change the percent to an improper fraction
17 ½= 35/2 (you have to multiply (2 x 17) plus 1 equals 35
over 2 ( keep the denominator). It will be 35/2. Put the other number (240) over 100 and
multiply.
35/2 x 240/100 = 42
There is another way . You can simplify
Cancel all the zeros that you have and start to reduce.

Answer: 196 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
d = 
Step-by-step explanation:
1) To solve for d, isolate it in the equation. So, to get rid of the 
with the d, add 
to both sides.
Thus, d = .
The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:
15 weeks
Explanation:
Let w be the number of weeks. Bill weighs 150 pounds and wants to gain 2 lbs per week; this gives us the expression 150+2w for Bill.
Jamal weighs 195 and wants to lose 1 pound per week; this gives us the expression 195-1w for Jamal.
To determine how many weeks it will take them to weigh the same, we set the two expressions equal:
150+2w=195-1w
Add 1w to each side:
150+2w+1w = 195-1w+1w
150+3w = 195
Subtract 150 from each side:
150+3w-150 = 195-150
3w = 45
Divide each side by 3:
3w/3 = 45/3
w = 15
