Question:
The shaded portion of the bar model in Part A shows 3/8. What percent is equivalent to 3/8? Enter the correct answer in the box.
Answer:
The equivalent is 37.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
The equivalent
<em>The model is not shown, but the question can still be solved.</em>
We have:
Multiply by 100%
1) 2x-1 or x=1/2
2) 5a-16 or a=16/5
Answer:
12?
Step-by-step explanation:
6/8 = 9/?
8 x 9=72
72/6= 12
Answer: The answer is 8.
Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;
Y^2 - 40.
Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,
Y^2 - 40 = 3Y
If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,
Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0
(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)
We now have a quadratic equation
Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0
By factorizing we now have
(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0
Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or
Y + 5 = 0
Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5
Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8
