Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a percent proportion:

12/x = 48/100

To solve for x, we would do:

x = (12*100)/48 = 1200/48 = 25

x = 25%

In my opinion, the easiest way to do this would be to look at this and notice that 12 * 4 =48 so that means 12 is 1/4 of 48 and 1/4 = 25%.

Let me know if you have any questions.

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{23n =2.4}$

$\large\text{DIVIDE 23 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{23n}{23}=\dfrac{2.4}{23}}$

$\large\text{Cancel out: }\mathsf{\dfrac{23}{23}}\large\text{ because it gives you 1}$

$\large\text{Keep: }\mathsf{\dfrac{2.4}{23}}\large\text{ because it helps us solve for n}$

$\mathsf{n = \dfrac{2.4}{23}}$

$\mathsd{\dfrac{2.4}{23}= 2.4\div 23\rightarrow \bf 0.104348}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge n = \bf 0.104348}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\boxed{\textsf{NONE OF THE ABOVE is your ANSWER}}$

An 8-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling a 1 or even number

leonid [27]

The probability of rolling a 1 or an even number is 5/8.

If there are 8 sides of the die from numbers 1-8, the numbers of the probability are 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8. That makes 5 numbers out of 8 possible numbers. So, the probability is 5/8.(62.5%)

Ryan and Sarah collect baseball cards. Ryan has 150 baseball cards and collects 10 cards per week. Sarah has 200 baseball cards

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<h2>10 weeks </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Ryan

number of baseball cards=150

number collected per week= 10

let the number of weeks be x

and the total be y

y=10x+150-----------------1

Sarah

number of baseball cards=200

number collected per week= 5

let the number of weeks be x

and the total be y

y=5x+200------------2

Step two:

Required

the number of weeks where both total will be the same

10x+150=5x+200

10x-5x=200-150

5x=50

divide both sides by 5

x=50/5

x=10 weeks
