Use an equation to solve the problem.
224 is 25% of what number?
A. 224*0.25=w;560
B. 224=0.25*w;896
C. 224*0.25=w;56
D. 224=0.25*w;90
Is the answer C?
Yes, B is right.
1/4 of 896 is 224
So D?
Oh ok is the answer B?
Well, I'm glad you're having a go at math! But I'm sorry to say that your answer isn't quite right. Let's try solving the problem together using an equation!
If 224 is 25% of a number, we can represent that as the equation 224 = 0.25w. Here, 'w' represents the unknown number we're trying to figure out.
So, let's solve it step by step:
224 = 0.25w
To get rid of the 0.25 on the right side of the equation, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:
224/0.25 = (0.25w)/0.25
This simplifies to:
896 = w
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 224 = 0.25w; 896.
Great job attempting the problem! Keep it up!
To solve the problem, we can use the equation "224 = 0.25 * w" where "w" represents the unknown number we are trying to find.
So the correct equation is B. 224 = 0.25 * w.
To solve for "w", we divide both sides of the equation by 0.25, since that is the coefficient of "w":
224 / 0.25 = w
This simplifies to:
896 = w
Therefore, the answer is B. 224 = 0.25 * w, where w = 896.
No.
0.25x = 224
Does that make sense to you?
Solve this equation:
0.25x = 224
