Answer 2

are you right

Answer 3

70*0.60=42

Answer 4

YOu need to set up a proportion. Since percents are out of 100, the proportion should look like this. \[\frac{ 42 }{ 100 }=\frac{ ? }{ 70 }\]
Now all you need to do is cross multiply 42 and 70. then divide by 100.

Answer 10

take it as 42 = x/70 times 100

42/70 = 6/10 = 60/100 = 60%

im confussed

Answer 13

you can just set it up as an equation and find the decimal value, then convert to percent
Forty-two is what percent of 70?
42=70x
x=42/70

Answer 14

@k_lynn had the right idea but wrong ratios

$$\frac{x}{100} = \frac{42}{70}$$

Answer 15

easiest way to do it imo, is to take 42/70 = 0.6, then multiply by 100
