If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:
20/x = 40/100
20/x = 4/10
20/x = 2/5
x = 50.
Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.
Answer:
99 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 8 times 9=72+27=99
Let the first and smaller number be x. Since the second number is 5 times the first, the second number is 5x. We also know both of these numbers must add to 50; thus, we can create the following equation.

Combine like terms

Divide both sides by 6

This is the value of the first number. The number you're looking for isn't specified in the question description, so I'll just provide the value of the second number. The second number has to be 5 times the first.
Thus, we just multiply 5 to x.

That's the value of the second number.
