To find the number, you can set up a proportion: 5 is to 8 as 35 is to x. This can be written as 5/8 = 35/x. Cross multiplying gives you 5x = 280. Dividing both sides by 5, you get x = 56. Therefore, the number is 56.
To find a number that is 5 times greater than 8, you would multiply 8 by 5. 8 x 5 = 40. Therefore, the number that is 5 times greater than 8 is 40.
8z + 5
To find the original number, we can set up the equation: (5/8)x = 100. To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/8, which is 8/5. This gives us x = 100 * (8/5) = 160. Therefore, the original number is 160.
To find the fifth multiple of a number, you would multiply the number by 5. The quotient of 480 and 8 is 60. Therefore, the fifth multiple of the number would be 60 x 5, which is 300.
