You take your answer 20 and multiply it by 6 to get 120 then you divide it by 5 to get your answer of 24
help full?
Answer:
scale factor = 2.5
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the scale factor, divide 10 by 4.
use the answer and divide it by 25 :)
________
10÷4=2.5
25÷2.5=10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
"78% of P" looks like this in an algebraic expression: .78P
"117% of Q" looks like this: 1.17Q
"...is 23.4 more than [above]" looks like this: [above] + 23.4
Putting that all together in one equation, knowing that the word "is" means "equals":
.78P = 1.17Q + 23.4
From there, we will now use the fact that Q is 40% of P, which looks like this:
Q = .4P
Now, using that substitution:
.78P = 1.17(.4P) + 23.4 and
.78P = .468P + 23.4 and
.312P = 23.4 so
P = 75
Going back up to what Q is equal to, we will sub in the value of P and solve for Q:
Q = .4P and P = 75, therefore,
Q = .4(75) so
Q = 30
im not the best at math but i think is would be something like 3ft
if you dont thinks its right explain in a lot more details :D
but if it helped ok :D
in a way it was a guess since the first i thought of was multiplication like 6x3=18
