if we take 2100 to be the 100%, what is 273 off of it in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 2100 & 100\\ 273& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{2100}{273}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{100}{13}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 100x=1300\implies x=\cfrac{1300}{100}\implies x=13$

Show work for 125 divided by 7.75

Mazyrski [523]

7.75 ➗ 125 = 0.062

Simplify ➡ 31 / 4

31 over 4 ➗ 125

Then, divide ➡31 over 1 by 125

and it should leave you with the answer 0.062

A building 78 ft high casts a 195-ft shadow. Sarah casts a 10-ft shadow. The triangle formed by the building and its shadow is s

mylen [45]

This can be solved by similar triangles, which means you can cross multiply and divide. 78/195=x/10. 78(10)=780 and divide 780 by 195, you'll get the answer is 4. This means Sarah is 4 ft tall.

Calculate volume of hemisphere with radius 3.2 cm

Olin [163]

Answer:

V ≈ 68.63 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume (V) of a sphere is calculated as

V = $\frac{4}{3}$ πr³

the volume of a hemisphere is half the volume of a sphere, so

V = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{4}{3}$ πr³ = $\frac{2}{3}$ πr³ , then

V = $\frac{2}{3}$ π × 3.2³

= $\frac{2}{3}$ π × 32.768

≈ 68.63 cm³ ( to 2 dec. places )

Think of the given points as endpoints of vectors.

The point (3, 1) is the terminus of the vector 3 i + j.

The point (-4, 2) is the terminus of -4 i + 2 j.

By the "triangle rule" for vector summation, the vector starting at (3, 1) and ending at (-4, 2) is the difference between these two vectors.

(-4 i + 2j) - (3i + j) = -7 i + j

Hiiiiii peoples<br><br> Solve the inequality 6x^2-x<2 please show all steps

Orlov [11]

Answer:(3x−2)⋅(2x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2".

STEP

Equation at the end of step 1

((2•3x2) - x) - 2

STEP

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 6x2-x-2

The first term is, 6x2 its coefficient is 6 .

The middle term is, -x its coefficient is -1 .

The last term, "the constant", is -2

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • -2 = -12

Step-2 : Find two factors of -12 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -1 .

-12 + 1 = -11

-6 + 2 = -4

-4 + 3 = -1 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -4 and 3

6x2 - 4x + 3x - 2

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

2x • (3x-2)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

1 • (3x-2)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(2x+1) • (3x-2)

Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

(3x - 2) • (2x + 1)
