56 is 0.4% of what number?

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Hence, the expression can be written has:

0.4 of x = 56

0.4x = 56

Divide both sides by 0.4

0.4x / 0.4 = 56 / 0.4

x = 140

Hence, 56 is 0.4 of 140

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
