Question

If c represents a number, does 2/ five times x always represent 40?
1) True
2) False

Answer 1

False. 2/5 times x does not always represent 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

False

To determine if 2/5 times x always represents 40, we need to set up a equation: 2/5 * x = 40.

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5/2 (the reciprocal of 2/5): x = (40)*(5/2), which simplifies to x = 100.

Since x = 100, 2/5 times x does not always represent 40. Therefore, the statement is false.
