The same reason 4 dimes and 4 pennies aren't equal.
To put it into decimal terms, 4/10 is 0.40 (or forty cents), whereas 4/100 is 0.04 (or four cents)
The thief originally stole 64 plants.
<h3>What is arithmetic?</h3>
In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.
Here,
Let the number of plants originally stolen by the thief be x.
On the way out, the thief meets three security guards, one after another. To each security guard, the thief is forced to give one-half of the plants that he still had, plus 2 more.
Here,
For gourd 1 the planet is given = 1/2 x
For gourd 2 the planet is given = 1/2 * 1/2 x = 1/4 x
For gourd 3 the planet is given = 1/2*1/4 x = 1/8 x
Total plant given to the gourds = 1/2x +1/4x +1/8x + 2 = 7/x/8x +2
Finally, the thief leaves the nursery with 10 plants
x - 7x/8 + 2 = 10
x/8 = 8
x = 64
Thus, the thief stole 64 plants.

Answer:
0.6604 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The convertion from inches to meters is 1 inch= 0.024 meters, so:
26 inches = 26 inch* 0.024 meters/inch = 0.6604 meters
Good luck!
The answer is 248. Working out is in the picture.
Answer:
(d) -- see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph that shows exponential decay is one that tends toward a horizontal asymptote as x gets large.
__
A basic (parent) exponential decay curve is concave upward and tends toward zero as x gets large. The fractional change in any interval is the same as for any other interval of equal size. The curve attached decreases by a factor of 2 when x increases by 1.
