23. A number decreased by 20 is equal to 500. What is the number?
x – 20 = 500
x = 500 + 20
x = 520
24. A number increased by 20 is equal to 500. What is the number?
x + 20 = 500
x = 500 – 20

74 kg to g = 74,000 g
38. Convert the given unit of weight to the unit indicated. Use (kg hg dag g dg cg mg)
342 mg to g = 0.342 g
39. Convert 10ºC from ºC to ºF. Use the formula F = 9 C + 32
5
F = 9/5 C + 32 = 1.8C + 32 = 1.8(10) + 32 = 18 + 32 = 50
40. Convert 68ºF from ºF to ºC. Use the formula C = 5 (F – 32)
9
C = 5/9 (F – 32) = 5/9 (68 – 32) = 5/9 (36) = 20
