Answer:
2.52.
Step-by-step explanation:
If one number is x then the other = 3x/8.
Also x - 3x / 8 = 4.2
x - 0.375 x = 4.2
0.625x = 4.2
x = 4.2 / 0.625
x = 6.72.
So the lesser number is 6.72 * 0.375 = 2.52.
False. It's 36 not .36 and you would just do 12x36 since 36 inches is 1 yd. But if you want to make it complicated just do 12/1 times 36/1 which still equals 432.
1. We assume, that the number 92.4 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 92.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 92.4=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 150% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=150%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 92.4=100%
2) x=150%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
92.4/x=100%/150%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 150% of 92.4
92.4/x=100/150
<span>(92.4/x)*x=(100/150)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>92.4=0.666666666667*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (0.666666666667) to get x
<span>92.4/0.666666666667=x </span>
<span>138.6=x </span>
x=138.6
<span>now we have: </span>
<span>150% of 92.4=138.6</span>
Answer:
a. Given a number of tablespoons, find the number of cups:
1. Since he needs 2 cups, he can use 2×16=32 tablespoons.
2.Since he needs 1/2 cup, he can use 1/2×16=8 tablespoons.
He needs 1 1/4 cups. 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. 1/4 cup is 1/4×16=4 tablespoons. So altogether he needs 16+4=20 tablespoons.Given a number of cups, find the number of tablespoons:
I already found that 20 tablespoons is 1 1/4 cups. So for 28 tablespoons I need an additional 8 tablespoons, or an additional 1/2 cup. 1 1/4+1/2=1 3/4, so 28 tablespoons gets him 1 3/4 cups. (Alternatively, we might say that 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×28=28/16, which we can rewrite as 1 12/16 or 1 3/4.)
I notice that to convert from tablespoons to cups, I always divide by 16. 6÷16=6/16, which we can write as 1 3/8. (Alternatively, 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×6=6/16, which we can rewrite as 1 3/8.)
