All you need to remember is that the symbol ' % ' means ' /100 ',
and your life will be easy.
A fraction that is equivalent to
will have the form
, where
A and
B are equivalent and factors that are multiplied in.
The product fraction should be easily simplified using
A and
B to get the original fraction.
<em>In the case of your fraction </em>
you will need to find a fraction which is a product of this:
V=1/3hb^2
b=base
h=height
base=x
height=(1/2)x
volume is 288
288=(1/3)(1/2)(x)(x^2)
288=(1/6)(x^3)
times both sides by 6
1728=x^3
cube root both sides
12=x
Yes because all sides would be equal to 5 which would give you 5*4 = 20 units.
