After painting 3/8 of a fence he finds that he has painted 15 feet

whats the question? theres no context other than that little bit

The fence is 40 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose the question is "What is the length of the entire fence?"

Formula

3/8 x = 15                     Multiply both sides by 8

8*(3/8)x = 15*8             Cancel

3x = 120                       Divide by 3

3x/3 = 120/3

x = 40

the answer is here: : )

:

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
