Question

I’m cunfused. Help please?

Answer 1

The answer is is 50

Explanation:

If 3/5 if number is 30, then this means that 1/5 of the number must be 10 (i.e. If we divide 3/5 by 3, we get 1/5, so similarly, we can divide 30 by 3 to get 10). So, if 1/5 of the number is 10, this means the original number is 5x10 = 50.

We can also work this out using algebra:

`(3)/(5) x = 30\\3x = 150\\x = 50`
