You eliminate or ‘take away’ the answers that you know or think that r wrong. The last answer that’s left is your answer.
I stopped the division process once I got to the thousandths place. 0.457 ÷ 0.12 ≈ 3.808. Rounded to the hundredths place, the answer is 3.81.
Well I don't know. Let's figure it out together.
You said (a number) divided by 12 gives you 9 .
A fraction is the easiest way to show division, so
you can write this equation:
(number) / 12 = 9
Now you can multiply each side of the equation by 12 .
When you do that, you have ...
number = 9 x 12
<em>number = 108</em> .
Now you know how to find it. That's even better than just
having the answer.
The difference is 160
c. 200%
2x + 4 1/5 = 9
2x = 9 - 4 1/5
2x = 5 1/5
2x divided by 2 = x
5 1/5 divided by 2 = 13/5 (2 3/5, or 2.6)
x = 13/5 (2 3/5, or 2.6)
