It would still be 17.8, unless there are more numbers after the 8.
3/5 = 0.3 * x
3/5 is 30% of x - This is how they match up from the word problem to a number sentence
So to solve it...
3/5 = 0.3x
x = 3/5 ÷ 0.3 = 2
It doubles every 4 hours, so after 24 hours there will be 6 doublings.
2^6 = 64
So, the population will be (3,000,000 * 64) or 192,000,000 in 24 hours.
The answer is B.
It is basically saying that you need to write 3 1/2 as ounces and pounds but in whole numbers. The answer is 3 pounds and 8 ounces.
1. Find the unit rate
15 books divided by 5 days = 3 books sold per day.
Since we are looking for how many days it would take the store to sell 21 bucks, we could do 21 (amount of books) divided by 3 (how much books is sold in a day).
Therefore, it will take a week / 7 days to sell 21 books.
