5-37. Richard's strategy for changing a percent to a decimal is to put the decimal point in front of the percent
number. An example of his work is shown at right. Do you agree with Richard's method? Explain your reasoning.
8%=0.8
80%=0.80
800%=0.800

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent symbol (%) is a shorthand way to write "divided by 100" (/100). The percent can be changed to a decimal by making that substitution.

  8% = 8/100 = 0.08

  80% = 80/100 = 0.80

  800% = 800/100 = 8.00

Effectively, the change to a decimal is made by moving the decimal point two places to the left. Richard's strategy only works if the percentage has 2 digits left of its decimal point. It does not work in the general case.

This table models a linear function.

x -8 -4 4 8
y -1 0 2 3

Enter the coordinates of the y-intercept in the boxes.

Answers

Answer:

[tex](x,y) = (0,1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above table

Required

Determine the coordinates of the y intercept

Represent points on the table as:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (4,2)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (8,3)[/tex]

First, calculate slope (m):

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{3-2}{8 - 4}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

For y intercept, the following coordinate point exist:

[tex](x_3,y_3) = (0,y)[/tex]

Because x = 0 at y intercept

Calculate the slope as:

[tex]m = \frac{y_3 - y_1}{x_3 - x_1}[/tex]

The equation becomes

[tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{y - 2}{0 - 4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{y - 2}{- 4}[/tex]

Cross Multiply:

[tex]4(y-2) = -4 * 1[/tex]

Divide through by 4

[tex]y - 2 = -1 * 1[/tex]

[tex]y - 2 = -1[/tex]

Make y the subject:

[tex]y = 2-1[/tex]

[tex]y = 1[/tex]

Hence, the coordinates of the y intercept is:

[tex](x,y) = (0,1)[/tex]

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below? ​

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that the midpoint of the segment is:

[tex]\left(-\frac{9}{2},\:\frac{3}{2}\right)[/tex]

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

(-6, -1)(-3, 4)

Finding the midpoint of the segment using the formula

[tex]\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-3,\:4\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-6,\:-1\right)[/tex]

so

[tex]=\left(\frac{-6-3}{2},\:\frac{-1+4}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]=\left(-\frac{9}{2},\:\frac{3}{2}\right)[/tex]

Therefore, we conclude that the midpoint of the segment is:

[tex]\left(-\frac{9}{2},\:\frac{3}{2}\right)[/tex]

Hence, option D is correct.

There are 1200 students at a school.

Each student has either a packed lunch or a school dinner.

62% of the students have school dinners.

55% of the students are girls.

45% of the girls have packed lunches.

How many boys have school dinners?

You must show all your working.

Answers

Answer:

The number of boys that have school dinners is 381.  

           

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how many students have school dinners:

[tex] SD = 1200*0.62 = 744 [/tex]

The percent of girls that have school dinners:

[tex] \%SD_{g} = 100\% - 45\% = 55\% [/tex]

Now, we need to find the number of boys (b) and girls (g) at a school:

[tex] g = 1200*0.55 = 660 [/tex]

[tex]b=1200 - 660 = 540[/tex]

Hence. the percent of boys that have school dinners is given by:

[tex] SD = g*\%SD_{g} + b*\%SD_{b} [/tex]

[tex]\%SD_{b} = \frac{SD - g*\%SD_{g}}{b} = \frac{744 - 660*0.55}{540} = 0.706[/tex]

[tex] \%SD_{b} = 70.6\% [/tex]

Finally, the number of boys that have school dinners is:

[tex]B = 540*0.706 = 381[/tex]    

Therefore, the number of boys that have school dinners is 381.

Answer: 25% of 40 or 0.25 of 40 is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you have to divide 40 by 10 because 1/4 of 100 is 25. 25 is 1/4 of 100.

So knowing this 40/0.25 is equal to 10. This is why 0.25 of 40 is 10.

The domain is the list of values in the x-column.

The range is the list of values in the y-column.

It is useful, but not essential, that the values be listed in numerical order.

  x-values are 4, 6, 0, -5, so we can say the domain is {-5, 0, 4, 6}

  y-values are 9, 13, 0, -9, so we can say the range is {-9, 0, 9, 13}

Suppose that you and a friend are playing cards and you decide to make a friendly wager. The bet is that you will draw two cards without replacement from a standard deck. If both cards are diamonds, your friend will pay you $810. Otherwise, you have to pay your friend $49. Step 2 of 2 : If this same bet is made 914 times, how much would you expect to win or lose

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We all know that there are 52 cards prszent in a deck out of which 13 are diamonds. Hence, the probability that both cards are spade is

13/52 * 12/51 =

0.25 * 0.235 =

0.0588

If both cards turn out to be diamonds, the friend pays $810 which is

$810 * 0.0588 = $47.628

On the other hand, the probability that both cards isn't a diamond is simply the negation of the probability that it is a diamond.

1 - 0.0588 = 0.9412

And you would have to pay your friend

$49 * 0.9412 = -$46.12, with the prefixed negative sign telling us that it's a lost bet.

determine the value of p if one root of equation x^2+px+1=0 is the square of other.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is x²+px+1=0

comparing the equation with ax²+bx+c=0

then a=1,b=p,c=1

let the roots one root of the equation be A then

by question, another root is A².

we know

A(ALPHA)+A²(beta)=-b/a

A+A²=-p/1

A+A²=-p......1

again

A*A²=c/a

A³=1/1

A³=1

A=1

Now,

substituting A=1 in equation 1

1+1²=-p

2=-p

Therefore p=-2.

the height of a shed is 6cm. a ladder leans agaisnt the shed with its base 4.5 m away, and its top just reaching the roof. what is the length of the ladder?

Answers

Answer:

4.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is a right angles triangle

Height of the shed = opposite side = 6cm

Distance of the ladder from the shed = adjacent = 4.5m

Lenght of the ladder = Hypotenuse = x

Using pythegoras theorem to find the length of the ladder

hyp² = opp²+adj²

hyp² = 0.06² + 4.5²

hyp²= 0.0036+20.25

hyp² = 20.2536

hyp = √20.2536

hyp = 4.50m

Hence the length of the ladder is 4.5m

Contestants run__hour and bike___hour.

Answers

Answer:

They ran for 0.923 hrs and biked for 0.46 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do is write down the inequality of the question

5.2x + 20.8y = 14.4

10.4x + 18.2y = 18

Multiplying the whole equation by 10, so as to eliminate the decimal places, we have.

52x + 208y = 144

104x + 182y = 180

Multiplying the first equation by 2, we have

104x + 416y = 288, next we solve it simultaneously with the second equation

104x + 416y = 288

104x + 182y = 180

Subtract 2 from 1, and we have..

416y - 182y = 288 - 180

234y = 108

y = 0.46

Now, we go back and substitute for y in the earlier equation, so that

52x + 208(0.46) = 144

52x + 95.68 = 144

52x = 144 - 95.68

52x = 48.32

x = 48.32/52

x = 0.929

What is a unit of measurement?

Unit of measurement is defined as every entity having its measures in dimensions, weight, and time. Such as for length we have a meter, for liquid we have liters, and so on.

here,
As of the conversion of the unit,
45 ounces = 0.25 pound

12 inch = 1 foot

Weigh of rope, in 12-inch rope,
= 12 × 0.25
= 3 pounds per foot

Thus, the required weight of the rope in pounds per foot is given as 3 pounds per foot.

Answer:

Question 1 answer is 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1. 36 days, 2. $8,680

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that 12 men can do the work in 72 days, so if you add double the men, it will take half the time. Half of 72 is 36, so our answer is 36 days.

2. If $7,000 is borrowed, that person owes $7,000 so far, but they keep it for 4 years with an annual interest rate of 6%. To solve this, we need to find 6% of 7,000. To do this, we multiply 7,000 by .06. That gets us 420. Now, we multiply 420 by 4. That gets us 1,680. Now, we add 1,680 and 7,000. That gets us 8,680. That means the final amount owed is $8,680.
