Answer:
250 and 2 because i think 250 multiply by 2 is 500
To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
20:£1
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify a ratio is like like simplifying a fraction
Take 4/8 as an example. Find a number you can divide both numbers with. In this case, it's 4. 4 divided by 4= 1, and 8 divided by 4= 2. So, the simplified version of 4/8 is 1/2. Similarly, with the ration 60:£3, you find the number you can divided both numbers with. In this case, it is 3. 3 divided by 3= 1, and 60 divided by 3= 20.
Final Answer: 20:£1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Red = 6
Blue = 3
Green = 5
Total = 14
First marble = 6/14 = 3/7 You now have 5 reds and 13 total
Second Marble = 5 * 13 which brings you down to 4 red and 12 total.
Third Marble = 4/12 = 1/3
Result
P(3 Red) = 3/7 * 5/13 * 1/3 cancel the 3s
P(3 Red) = 1/7 * 5/13
P(3 Red) = 5/91
P(3 Red) = 0.0549 . Rounding to the nearest 1/100 depends on what you have been told about rounding. I would say the answer is 0.05 but your teacher may say something different.
