Question

Kim ran a mile in PE class. After resting for 1 hour her heart rate was 75 beats per minute. If her heart rate decreased by ⅖ , what was it immediately after she ran the mile?

Answer 1

125

Explanation:

since you take away 2/5 of the original number to get 75, 75 is equal to 3/5's of the original. You then divide 75 by 3, get 25, then multiply 25 by 5 to find the answer which is 125.
