1/.7= 1.428 This is the reciprocal. It shows the relationship between 70% and 100%. If you divided 70 by 100, you would have the same result.

21*1.428 = 29.988

Therefore Texas has 30 seats. Even in Texas, they couldn't gerrymander .988 congressmen.

Proof: 30*.7= 21

Could you help me with this math word problem?

We Answered:

the area of one is X

the area of the other is x/2 - 600

when these are added together the total is 9000

x + x/2 - 600 = 9000
solve this for x ( X = 6400)
one is 6400
the other is 6400/2 - 600 which is 2600
6400 + 2600 = 9000

good luck

Working backwards;

He was left with $14.50 which is also what he had spent on office supplies.
So he had $29.00 before he bought those supplies.
Add back the $8.12 he spent on printer ribbon.
Now he has $37.12 in his wallet which is equal to what he spent on the printer table.
Before he bought that, he had $74.24!

We Answered:

This type of problems are always solve using reciprocals, remember that:

x= time together

so

1/20 + 1/ 10 = 1/x

Solve for x

( 1+2)/20= 1/x

x= 20/3 = 6 minutes and 40 seconds
