16 is 49 percent of what number?
To find the answer to this you will need to create a proportion with one variable. Then cross multiply and finally solve a one-step equation. Set it up like this:49/100 = 16/NThen cross multiply:16 x 100 = 49 x N1600 = 49NThen solve the one-step equation to find your answer.Hope this helps.
What is x if x over 1 point 2 equals negative 7?
cross multiply you lazy bumAnother AnswerSet up the equation and solve: x/1.2 = -7 (next divide both sides of the equation by 1.2 to solve for x)x = -5.8333
How To Solve A Proportion?
To solve a proportion, you cross multiply. For example, if this was the proportion: 2/4 = 3/x, you would multiply 2 with x and 4 with 3. The products will be used in your next equation. In this case, your next equation is 2x = 12. Now you want to isolate x, so divide by two for both sides. Your answer will be x = 6.
How do you solve for missing sides in similar figures?
