Can anyone tell me the formula I would use to solve this question.

If 2001.51 = 70% of X, what is X?

I know what X is, (2859.30) but if I didn't, and only had the 2001.51 number, what is the formula I would use to determine X?

And what area of math is this referred to as, (since I obviously need a course on it ;-) Thanks.

That's a 6th grade math problem.

Thank you for pointing that out, Abraham. What would we do without you?

Are any of you seriously mathematical? If so I have a question that should be simple, but none of my local geniuses can answer it.

Shoot it here.

Goody! How do you calculate the points at which the hour and minute hands of a clock are in the same exact position (or exactly opposite) other than 12:00?

Mind you, the exact times are of secondary interest at best. I mainly want to know how they'd be arrived at, simply because I'm an endlessly curious person (if a total mathematical failure).

I don't know how to calculate it.

The big hand passes the little hand once an hour, and is opposite it once an hour.

2 times an hour for whatever length of time you want. I don't know why you eliminate 12:00 - same thing.

If this is a trick question and you make me look like a retard, I'm going to knock you over the head with my mouse.

You're in good company in answering "everything else but" :)

Well, I don't know what you mean by that.

I have no clue either.

Is 120 times correct, is all I wanna know. :-)

Have fun here:

They discuss only when the hands are in a straight line/opposite each other.

22 times in a 24 hour period with discussion.

Edit: between 5 and 7 O'clock they're only in a straight line at 6. I see that now...with help.
