We know Bianca delivers 100 newspapers every 2 days.
So we must find out how many papers she delivers in 1 day.
100 ÷ 2 = 50
Bianca delivers 50 papers in 1 day.
Now we must multiply that by 7.
50 × 7 = 350
We get 350 papers per week.
The answer is 350.
In order to find a fraction, We know that a percentage is out of a 100. This means we can now place our fraction as:
38/100
In order to find the actual fraction, we will want to simplify. Lets find our least common factor and work down from there. Since we know that 2 can go into both of them, lets reduce by 2.
This means our fraction will now look like:
19/50
Since 19 is a prime number and cannot be divided by anything but 1 and itself, we know that this is our simplified form.
This means:
19/50 is the fraction equivalent to 38%.
Answer:
x=14
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
