What percent of 72 is 48 with step by step process

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

67%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few methods to finding the percent of a number. You can use proportions:

$\frac{percent}{100}=\frac{48}{72}$

The 'percent' is the percent of the fraction that you are looking for, or 48/72.

Cross-multiply: 72x = (48)(100) or 72x = 4800

Divide both sides by 72: 72x/72 = 4800/72

Solve for 'x': x = 66.6666...

Round 66.666.... to the nearest percent: 67%

Ben walks 25 miles from home to work. If he walks the first 5 miles in 1 hour, the second 5 miles in 1.4 hours, the third 5 mile

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The total time taken to complete 25 miles is 7.6 hours.

Solution:

Ben walks 5 miles in 1 hour,

Second 5 miles in 1.4 hours,

Third 5 miles in 1.7 hours,

Last 5 miles in 1.8 hours

So he walked total 20 miles in (1+1.4+1.7+1.8) hours = 5.9 hours = 6 hours (approximately)

So his average speed is $\left(\frac{20}{6}\right)$ miles/hours = 3.33 miles/hours.

i.e. he travels 3.3 miles in 1 hour,

Then, he travels 1 miles in $\left(\frac{1}{3.3}\right)$ hours

Hence the total time he will take to walk 25 miles is $\left(25 \times\left(\frac{1}{3.3}\right)\right) \text { hours }$ $\Rightarrow \left(\frac{25}{3.3}\right) \text { hours } = 7.5757 hours$
