The problem has to do with finding what percentage is one quantity over another.
We can solve as a rule of three, knowing that <span>$27,650 is the 100%
</span><span>$27,650 ----> 100%
1382.5 ------> x
x = (1382.5)(100)/</span><span>27650
x = 5
therefore, $</span>1382.5 is the 5% of $<span>27650</span>
Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
As you know, dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by that fraction's inverse (or reciprocal). Any whole number is equivalent to the fraction that is that whole number divided by 1. (For example, 4 = 4/1.)
Let wind speed = x mph
when she rode 2 miles against the wind we have:-
speed = distance / time so
20 - x = 2 / t -------(1) where t is the time she took.
when riding with the wind we have
20 + x = 3 / t--------(2) adding equations (1) and (2):-
40 = 2/t + 3/t
40 = 5/t
t = 5/40 = 1/8 hr
x = 20 - 2 / 1/8 = 20 - 16 = 4
Wind speed was 4 mph Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
so, he will not wear any pants ? socks ? not to mention underwear ?
anyway, we have to deduct the $35 for the shoes, as he is seemingly buying them in any case.
so, we are left with 100 - 35 = $65 for shirts.
as one shirt costs $15, we need to see how often 15 fits into 65, as that is the answer how many shirts he can buy for this money.
65 / 15 = 4.333333333...
since he cannot buy a part shirt, we can only rely on the integer part of the calculation.
so, he can buy 4 shirts and will have $5 left.
Answer:
6 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
the ratio of the recipe=(1 1/2)/(3/4)
1 1/2=1.5 cups of flour
3/4 stick of butter-------> 0.75 stick of butter
by proportion
1.5/0.75=x/3---------> 3*1.5=0.75*x
x=3*1.5/0.75----------> x=6 cups of flour
