Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Change mixed fraction to improper fraction. Then reduce to lowest term if possible.
6 1/4 x 3 3/5 = 25/4 * 18/5 = 25* 18 /4*5
= 5 * 18 / 4 {giving by 5th table}
= 5* 9 /2 { giving by 2nd tables}
= 45/2
(75/4) / (5/4) =
75/4 * 4/5 =
300/20 =

You can set up an equation based off of the information given:
x represents the unknown number
3/5x - 1 = 23
add 1 to both sides to isolate the 3/5x
3/5x = 24
divide both sides by 3/5 to solve for x
x = 120/3
120/3 can be simplified into 40
Final answer: x = 40
