Percent means parts out of 100
36% =36/100=0.36
'of' means mulitply
27 is 36% of ? translates to
27=0.36 times ?
divide both sides by 0.36
75=?
the number is 75
Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply add 1/4 to both sides of the equation to isolate <em>x</em> and to get your answer.
x = 1/4 + 1/2
x = 1/4 + 2/4
x = 3/4 or 0.75

Answer:
228 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Traveling 3 hours at 76 km/hour, the train covers a distance of ...
distance = speed × time
distance = (76 km/h)(3 h) = 76×3 km = 228 km
Ricardo would swim a farther distance in 1 hour. By taking the number of miles he swam and in the fraction of the hour, you can find the answer.
Divide 5 1/4 by 3 because it took 3/5 of an hour to swim that far. That would lead to 1 3/4 for 1/5 of an hour. Now that we know this, we can multiply 1 3/4 to 5 to get how much he would swim in 1 hour which is 8 3/4
Divide 4 1/2 by 5 because it took 5/9 of an hour to swim that far. That would lead to 9/10 for 1/9 of an hour. Now that we know this, we can multiply 9/10 to 9 to get how much he would swim in 1 hour which is 8 1/10
Since 8 1/10 is less than 8 3/4, Ricardo swam farther
