OpenStudy (hba):

What will we multiply by 0.8 to make it 20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20/.8 = 25

OpenStudy (hba):

\[0.8 \times x=20\] What is x?

OpenStudy (hba):

x will be your answer 1:x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry this dumb thing wont let me do what im trying to do.... You would just divide each side by .8 right?

OpenStudy (hba):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which give me 25.

OpenStudy (hba):

So, 1:25 as far as i guess lol.
