Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find out what 20% and 40% of Henrik's 60 kg mass is. Watch out! Don't mix up percentages and actual weights!
A percentage is just a part of the whole.

STEP 2

1. Calculate 20% of Henrik's mass
2. Calculate 40% of Henrik's mass

STEP 3

Alright, let's **break down** what 20% means!
It means 20 out of 100, or 20100\frac{20}{100}.
We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the top and bottom by their **greatest common divisor**, which is 20.
This gives us 20÷20100÷20=15\frac{20 \div 20}{100 \div 20} = \frac{1}{5}.
So, 20% is one-fifth!

STEP 4

Now, we want to find one-fifth of Henrik's mass, which is **60 kg**.
To do this, we multiply: 1560 kg=605 kg \frac{1}{5} \cdot 60 \text{ kg} = \frac{60}{5} \text{ kg}

STEP 5

Let's **calculate** that division: 60÷5=1260 \div 5 = 12.
So, 20% of Henrik's mass is **12 kg**!

STEP 6

Just like before, let's **figure out** what 40% means!
It's 40100\frac{40}{100}.
We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numbers by 20: 40÷20100÷20=25\frac{40 \div 20}{100 \div 20} = \frac{2}{5}.
So 40% is two-fifths!

STEP 7

Now, we need two-fifths of Henrik's **60 kg** mass.
We multiply: 2560 kg=2605 kg=1205 kg \frac{2}{5} \cdot 60 \text{ kg} = \frac{2 \cdot 60}{5} \text{ kg} = \frac{120}{5} \text{ kg}

STEP 8

Let's **crunch those numbers**: 120÷5=24120 \div 5 = 24.
So, 40% of Henrik's mass is **24 kg**!

STEP 9

Here's our completed table:
Mass (kg) | Percentage ---|--- 60 kg | 100%100\% of 60 kg 12 kg | 20%20\% of 60 kg 24 kg | 40%40\% of 60 kg
