Answer:

36

Explanation:


\angle AOC is made up of s + r, and since r is
(3)/(5) of
\angle AOC we know r must be the remaining
(2)/(5) of
\angle AOC.

We can solve for
\angle AOC by using this equation:


(2)/(5)\angle AOC = 24\\((2)/(5)\angle AOC)(5)/(2) = (24)(5)/(2)\\ \boxed{\angle AOC = 60}

1. 2 fifths of
\angle AOC is 24

2. multiply both sides by
(5)/(2) to isolate
\angle AOC

3.
\angle AOC is 60°

We can now solve for r


r = (3)/(5)\angle AOC\\r = (3)/(5)(60)\\\boxed{r = 36}

1. the equation the problem gave us

2. substitute
\angle AOC for 60 (we solved for it before)

3.
r is 36°
