The clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.

The clock was still accurate by Friday noon. The clock was late by 468 seconds by Monday, 6 pm.

To solve the problem, we must:

Know how many 30-minutes have passed during the time period.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes = 2 × (30 minutes)

1 day = 24 hours × 2 × (30 minutes)

1 day = 48 × (30 minutes)

Thus, there are 48, 30-minutes in a day. On Friday, however, we start counting at noon, which is half of the day. Moreover, on Monday, the mark is only up to 6 pm, which is three-fourths of the day.

Friday = 48 × \frac{1}{2} = 24

Saturday = 48

Sunday = 48

Monday = 48 × \frac{3}{4} = 36

TOTAL = 24 + 48 + 48 + 36 = 156

Therefore, the total number of 30-minutes that have passed is 156. There were 156, 30-minutes that passed during the time period.

Divide the number of total seconds late by the number of 30-minutes passed.

That is, the number of total seconds late= 468 seconds ÷ 156

= 3 seconds  

Therefore, the clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.

Answer:

An example below

Step-by-step explanation:

5(4a + 7(a + 2b))

First simply the inside bracket using distributive property:

7(a + 2b)

7(a) + 7(2b)

7a + 14b

5(4a + 7a + 14b)

5(11a + 14b)

Use distributive property again

5(11a) + 5(14b)

55a + 70b

How u can convert decimal to a fraction in .23?
Vlada [557]

23

%

=

23

100

=

0.23

First we have to think that the symbol

%

=

1

100

so that

23

%

=

23

⋅

(

1

100

)

this is read twenty three percent is equal to twenty three multiplied by one divided by one hundred.

the result is the fraction

23

100

Now, to convert to decimal, simply divide 23 by 100

23

÷

10

=

2.3


and

2.3

÷

10

=

0.23

this is the same as

23

÷

100

=

0.23
