1/4 divided by 7/1 equals 1/28
Only two numbers less than 100 have a factor of 40: 40 (1 x 40) and 80 (2 x 40). Since 40 is a factor of both 40 and 80, 10 must also be a factor - indeed, 40 = 4 x 10 and 80 = 8 x 10.
The two number must be 40 and 80.
You would use the distributive property with the negative. So the second x becomes negative, but since the 7 is already negative it becomes positive. Think of it as if you put the two dashes together you can make a plus sign.
Answer:
1.23d = 52
Explanation:
If 52 meters is the water level after a 23% increase, then we can say that the initial depth d added to the 23% of d is equal to 52 meters. So:
d + 23%d = 52 meters
Since 23% is equivalent to 0.23, we get:
d + 0.23d = 52
Finally, adding the like terms, we get:
(1 + 0.23)d = 52
1.23d = 52
So, the equation is:
1.23d = 52
