Answer :
x = 53.85

Step by step explanation:
If 78% of x (some numbers) is equal to 42, then we must set this as an equation to find it.

1) Rewriting 78% as a fraction and considering that when we say 78% of some number (x) we mean a product.
78% = 78/100 ➡️ 78/100x = 42

2) Then we can go on :
100 * 78/100x = 42 * 100
78x = 4200
78x/78 = 4200/78 ➡️ x = 53.85

3) Alternatively, simply dividing 42 by 0.78 (78%) would come to the same result :

42/0.78 = 53.85

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 42 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 42 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42=100%.
4. We know, that x is 78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42=100%
2) x=78%
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:
42/x=100%/78%
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 78% of 42

42/x=100/78
(42/x)*x=(100/78)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42=1.28205128205*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.28205128205) to get x
42/1.28205128205=x
32.76=x
x=32.76

Find the radius of a circle with a circumference of 36 Inches
tatiyna

Answer:

r = 18/pi

or approximately 5.7325 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is given by

C = 2*pi*r

36 = 2*pi*r

Divide each side by 2 pi

36/(2pi) = r

18/pi = r

Letting pi = 3.14

18/3.14

5.732484076 = r

If you only have a
cestrela7 [59]

Hi! I'm happy to help!

To solve this problem, we need to divide the recipe amount in 1/6 amounts. So, we will do a fraction division problem like this:

15\frac{1}{6}÷\frac{1}{6}

This problem is hard to do with mixed numbers, so we need to turn 15\frac{1}{6} into an improper fraction. To do that we need to multiply 15 by 6, because that is our denominator, then add the extra \frac{1}{6}.

(15×6)+1

90+1

91

So, our improper fraction would be\frac{91}{6}, now, let's solve.

\frac{91}{6}÷\frac{1}{6}

It is difficult to do division problems on their own, so we can change this into an easier problem. We can do the inverse operation and turn this into multiplication. We do this by changing it to multiplication (obviously), then flip the second fraction.

\frac{91}{6}×\frac{6}{1}

Now, we just multiply the top by the top, and bottom by the bottom.

\frac{546}{6}

We could end it here, but we want a whole number, so, we simplify the number by dividing both the top and bottom by 6.

\frac{91}{1}

Anything over 1, is just a whole number

91.

<u>Therefore, the recipe should require 91 uses of the 1/6 cup.</u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
