Question

Anna can jump 35 times in one minute. This is

70% as many as Alexander can jump in one
minute. How many times can Alexander jump in
a minute?

Answer 1

Alex can jump 50 times in one minute.

Explanation:

1.) Start off by creating your equation.

It says that Anna can jump 35 times in one minute. It continues to say, that this value IS 70% as many as Alexander can jump in one minute. Thus, your equation should look like this:

x represents the number of jumps Alexander can do in one minute

35 = 0.70x

2.) Solve for x

35 = 0.70x

35/0.70 = x

50 = x

I hoped this helped. Good luck!
