If the number n would be multiplied by 5, we have its 500%.

If it is divided by 5, then we have its 20%.

So the mistake is 480%.

How do i solve distance rate time promblems?

The formula is Distance=Rate x Time (or distance equals rate multiplied by time). When you take this into account, you can manipulate it to solve for rate or time instead of distance. In other words, you could rewrite it as Rate= Distance/Time (rate equals distance divided by time) and Time= Distance/Rate (time equals distance divided by rate) in case they ask for what the Rate or Time is instead of Distance.


What numbers between 50 and 100 can be divided evenly into 4900?

use the divisibility rules. because these are all multiples of 10 right off the bat, you can divide all of them by 10 and use the numbers 5, 10 and 490 as your numbers instead. you can then use factor trees and prime factorization to help you. (I assumed that "divided evenly" you actually meant "multiplied evenly" as a smaller number cannot be divided evenly by a larger number)
