Answer: 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Setting up an equation to solve,
25 as the denominator representing the total number of baseball games played to represent the "whole."
10 as the numerator representing the number of games the baseball games won to represent the "part" you want to calculate as a percentage.
The equation, looking like this,
10/25 = ___
after calculating the equation you get 2/5 as reduced, evaluating that in terms of percentage you get 40% as 5 represents 100% (the whole) and 2 representing 40% (the number of baseball games won)
Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x. So the sentence translates into an equation...
200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16
200 - 2x = 16
Now let's solve for x to find "my age"
First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x
-2x = -184
Divide each side by -2 to isolate x
x = -184/-2
x = 92
I'm 92 years old!
Answer:
1 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between 1 and 2 is 5 units. Therefore, Point D is 3/5 of the way to 2.
