24 is 60% of the number 40.
To find the number that 24 is 60% of, we can set up a proportion. Let's assume the unknown number is represented by "x". The proportion would be:
24/x = 60/100
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
60x = 24(100)
Simplifying the equation:
60x = 2400
Dividing both sides by 60:
x = 2400/60
x = 40
Therefore, 24 is 60% of 40.
To verify this, we can calculate 60% of 40:
60% of 40 = (60/100) (40) = 0.6(40) = 24
So, indeed, 24 is 60% of 40, and our solution is consistent.

For 1: = 1/9 * 72 = 8kg
For 3: = 3/9 * 72 = 24kg
For 5: = 5/9 * 72 = 40kg
Okay, let's see...
The problem is asking for a linear equation most likely in the form of y=mx+b
y is another way to say f(x)
m = slope
b = y intercept
Let's start with the y intercept first.
Y intercept means ' When does the line touch (intercept) the y axis.
In this case, if you look at the graph, the line touches the y axis at -1.
-1 will replaces b
To find the slope we are going to take 2 precise points from the graph.
Lets use (0,-1) and (-6,4)
To find the slope, we're going to use
4 - (-1) / -6 - 0
Solve, our slope is 5/-6
That is our m
Our final equation is
