is the answer 1422. I appreciate your help.
No. You're obviously looking for a number that's a lot bigger than 2370
0.6x =2370
Divide both sides by 0.6
is the answer 8295. Ms. Sue
No. 3/5 is a little more than half. Look for a number between 4,000 and 5,000.
I've checked two of your answers. You're on your own now.
To figure out the charity's goal, you need to divide the total donations ($2370) by the fraction representing the portion of the goal they have achieved (three-fifths).
To do this, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Determine the fraction as a decimal
To convert the fraction three-fifths to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (5): 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6
Step 2: Calculate the goal
Divide the total donations ($2370) by the decimal fraction (0.6):
$2370 ÷ 0.6 = $3950
So, the charity's goal is $3950.
