a / b = 3 / 7 dividing numerator & denominator of ' ( 5 a + 6 b ) / ( a - 2 b ) ' by b , [ 5 ( a / b ) + 6 ] / [ ( a / b ) - 2 ] = [ 5 * ( 3 / 7 ) + 6 ] / [ ( 3 / 7 ) - 2 ] = - 57 / 11 answer : b
a = 5 * 3 b = 7 * 6 c = a + b d = 2 * 7 e = 3 - d f = c / e
a ) 5.5 % , b ) 8.3 % , c ) 11.6 % , d ) 14.2 % , e ) 17.5 %

a block of wood has dimensions 10 cm x 10 cm x 50 cm . the block is painted red and then cut evenly at the 25 cm mark , parallel to the sides , to form two rectangular solids of equal volume . what percentage of the surface area of each of the new solids is not painted red ?
"the area of each half is 100 + 4 ( 250 ) + 100 = 1200 the area that is not painted is 100 . the fraction that is not painted is 100 / 1200 = 1 / 12 = 8.3 % the answer is b ."
a = 4 * 100 b = a * 4 c = b + 100 d = c + 100 e = 100 / d f = e * 100
a ) 145 , b ) 90 , c ) 175 , d ) 160 , e ) 130

a mobile battery in 1 hour charges to 20 percent . how much time ( in minute ) will it require more to charge to 30 percent .
1 hr = 20 percent . thus 15 min = 5 percent . now to charge 30 percent 90 min . answer : b
a = 30 / 20 b = a * const_60
