Final answer:

To find what the other 60% represents when 40% equals 1380, first establish the total value by dividing 1380 by 0.40 to get 3450. Then, calculate 60% of this total by multiplying 3450 by 0.60 to find that the other 60% equals 2070.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate what the other 60% equals, given that 40% is 1380, we can set up a proportion where 40% corresponds to 1380. We will first find the value of the whole (which represents 100%) and then calculate what 60% of this whole would be.

Step 1: Set up the proportion.
40% corresponds to 1380, so we can write the equation:
0.40 * Whole = 1380.

Step 2: Solve for the whole.
Divide both sides by 0.40 to find the value of the entire amount:
Whole = 1380 / 0.40 = 3450.

Step 3: Now that we have the value of the whole, we can calculate 60% of it:
0.60 * Whole = 0.60 * 3450 = 2070.

Therefore, the other 60% equals 2070.

If you divide 2380 by 4, it will give you 10% of the whole:

1380/4=345

Then you can times 345 by 6 To find the 60%:

345*6=2070

PS Please check my calculations with a calculator as I worked these out in my head.
