No.
0.25x = 224
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?
0.25x = 224
Solve this equation:
0.25x = 224
1/4 of 896 is 224
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!
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.
