Answer 1

25

Explanation:

Answer 2

25

Explanation:

Set up the equation

(2/5)x = 10 "two fifths of some number is 10"

Now solve for x

Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2

(5/2)(2/5)x = 10(5/2) {this will eliminate the fraction on the left side}

x = 50/2 (simplify)

x = 25 (simpify)
