Answer 36

20

Answer 37

okay what did u do in your mind there?

Answer 38

you said 2 * what = 40 right

Answer 39

or maybe you said 40/2 = what

Answer 40

yes

Answer 41

thinking like this is the same 2*what=40
is the same thing as saying 40/what = 2 or 40/2=what?

Answer 42

thats all x really is lol!
x is just that what!

Answer 43

anyway moving on
now say you have 40 cookies, but u wanna give out 2/3rd of a cookie to each person, how many persons can u give to

Answer 44

remember how you did for 2 cookies a person
2*what=40 what = 20
or 40/2=what? what = 20

now lets do this for 2/3
2/3 * what = 40??
or 40/(2/3) = what??
