Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
Given the numbers above and those numbers only the mean would be 1.8
As a percent is out of 100% or 1 (as a whole number), the best thing to do is multiply it by ten, until you get a whole number. As you cannot have a decimal in a percentage. 2.45x10= 24.5. This is still a decimal, so you need to multiply it be ten again, 24.5x10= 245.
Therefore, 2.45 is a percent is 245%
Answer:
The volume of the smaller solid is 72 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that two similar solids have surface areas of 48cm and 108cm respectively, to find the volume of the smaller solid if the bigger one has a volume of 162cm the following calculation must be performed:
108 = 162
48 = X
48 x 162/108 = X
7776/108 = X
72 = X
Therefore, the volume of the smaller solid is 72 cm.
