Equation
2/3 = 14/ x
Cross multiply
2xX = 14x3
2x = 42
Eliminate
2x/2 = 42/2
X = 21
Answer:
let, the days for 10 men be x
- 30/10=x/30
- 900=10x
- x=900/10
- x=90
so 10 men can complete the same work in 90days.
Hope it helps.
Hey there!
Let's first find an easier situation.
If we're saying:
How many fives are in ten?
We're doing 10 divided by 5, because we're seeing how many 5's go into 10.
It's no different here.
We will be doing 6 divided by 3/4, just as we did with our simpler situation.
Using our "keep, switch, flip" rule (keep first term, change to multiplication, take reciprocal of second term)
we get:
6 divided by 3/4
=
6 * 4/3
= 24/3
= 8 3/4's in 6.
Hope this helps!
Numbers are 416, 417 and 418
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Let the numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2. Given that their sum is 1251.
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 1251
⇒ 3x + 3 = 1251
⇒ 3x = 1248
⇒ x = 416
Step 2:
Find the other numbers.
⇒ x + 1 = 417 and x + 2 = 418
