Question
How would you find the number, 3/7 of which is equal to t? (let's say it was any number, just need the equation)
Solution 1
Let the number be x
(3/7) x = t
I can't think of anything useful to add to this. How about an example?

Let x = 49

(3/7) x = t
(3/7) * 49 = t seven will go into 49
3 * 49 = t
t = 147 
Question
Amy has for gerbils Which Way 20 G 22 G 24 and 26 G what is the total weight of the gerbils in milligrams
Solution 1
First, I'll translate the problem into English:

Amy has four gerbils whose masses are 20 g, 22 g, 24 g, and 26 g.
What is the total mass of the gerbils in milligrams?

First add the masses in grams:
20 g + 22 g + 24 g + 26 g = 92 g

Now convert grams into milligrams.

1 gram = 1000 milligrams

92 g * 1000 = 92,000 mg

Answer: The total mass is 92,000 mg.

Solution 1
I am going to assume that you meant 40(15 x 40)2,, but if not then please let me know and I will fix my answer for you.
The first step for solving this is to multiply the numbers in the parenthesis.
40 x 600 x 2
Now multiply the first two numbers together.
24000 x 2
Multiply the final two numbers together to get your answer.

Question
Emilio borrows $1200 from a bank with 8% simple interest per year. How much interest will he have to pay back in 2 years?
Solution 1

The interest per year on the amount of money that Emillio borrowed  from the bank at the rate of 8% interest is $192

  • Interest can be regarded as the charges that is added to the principal, usually some percentage of the principal.
  • Principal is the amount of money that is been lent out.
  • Rate can be regarded as the percentage increase of the principal.
  • Time (t) can be regarded as the period that is needed to pay the money that was lent out back.

  • were were given rate (r) as8% = 0.08%
  • withinterest (I)as ?
  • principal  (P)= $1200

From the the formula for expressing

simple interest [ I= prt]

  • P= principal \\ I= interest\\ r= rate
  • Then substitute into the formula
  • I= (1200 * 0.08 * 2)

= 192.00

Therefore, the interest on the money is $192

Solution 2
Simple Interest equation is I=p×r×t
P= is the principal amount (1200)
R= is the interest rate per year (8% or 0.08)
T= time in years (2)

I= 1200 × 0.08 × 2= 192.00

Interest is 192.00

Solution 1
4x=8/7
x=(8/7)÷4
x=2/7
Solution 2
4x = 8/7
/4     /4

x = (8/7)/4 (Keep, change, flip)
x = 8/7 * 1/4
x = 8/28
x = 2/7
Question
The width of a rectangle is twice it’s height if the perimeter is 54 inches find the area
Solution 1
The area is 162. 

You can get this by solving for the sides. One side will be 9 and the other will be 18. This is because the perimeter must be 6x since one side is x and the other would be 2x. 
Solution 2
Let the height be x.
⇒ Height = x

The width of a rectangle is twice it’s height.
⇒ Width = 2x

Perimeter = 54
⇒2 (x + 2x) = 54

Solve x:
2 (x + 2x) = 54

Combine like terms:
2 (3x) = 54

Distribute 2:
6x = 54

Divide both sides by 6:
x = 9

Height = x = 9
Width = 2x = 2(9) = 18

Area = 9 x 18 = 162 in²

Answer: 162 in²
