actually a good guess but sorry your incorrect soo you will get them next time tiger
To find out what number 60 is 166 2/3% of, you can use the following formula:
(Number) = (Percentage) * (Base)
In this case, we want to find the number, so it is the variable we need to solve for. Let's assign the variable "x" to the unknown number.
60 = (166 2/3%) * x
To convert the percentage 166 2/3% to decimal form, divide it by 100:
166 2/3% = (166 2/3) / 100
Now we can substitute these values into the equation:
60 = ((166 2/3) / 100) * x
To solve this equation for x, we can multiply both sides by 100 and divide by (166 2/3):
x = (60 * 100) / (166 2/3)
To simplify the fraction (166 2/3), multiply the whole number part (166) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (2):
166 2/3 = (166 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 500 / 3
Now we substitute this value back into the equation:
x = (60 * 100) / (500 / 3)
x = (6000) / (500 / 3)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
x = (6000) * (3 / 500)
Simplifying:
x = 18000 / 500
x = 36
Therefore, 60 is 166 2/3% of 36, not 36.14.
166 2/3 % =
166 / 100 + ( 2 / 3 ) / 100=
[ 166 + ( 2 / 3 ) ] / 100 =
( 166 * 3 / 3 + 2 / 3 ) / 100 =
( 498 / 3 + 2 / 3 ) / 100 = ( 500 / 3 ) / 100 = 5 / 3
60 / ( 5 / 3 ) = 60 * 3 / 5 = 180 / 5 = 36
Proof :
166 2/3% =
166 / 100 + ( 2 / 3 ) / 100 =
1.6666666666666666666666666666666
1.6666666666666666666666666666666 * 36 = 60
