Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3 = 30% not 3%

to change a percentage to a decimal fraction, divide by 100

3% = $\frac{3}{100}$ = 0.03

The answer is no.

Always remember when converting from percent to decimal, divide by 100%.

3% ÷ 100%
0.03 ≠ 0.3

Hence, the student's thinking is not correct.

Rectangle 1: length=11 width=4 11×4=44

Rectangle 2: length=11-9=2 width=6 2×6=12

Rectangle 3: length=11 width=4 11×4=44

How do I solve5 (X) +16.81 ( 1 - X) = 7

DerKrebs [107]

First, use distributive property to expand whats in the brackets
second, isolate x by putting all terms with x on one side
divide both sides by -11.81 to have x on its own.

What is the value of i^97 - i

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i^1 = i

i^2 = - 1

i^3 = i^2 * i = - 1

i^4 = i^2 * i^2 = -1 * -1 = 1

Now the circle just repeats itself. So what you do is find out the remainder of i^97 which you divide by 4. What you get is 24 with a remainder of 1.

So i^97 = i

i - i = 0

The answer is 0

I need help please?!!!!

taurus [48]

The multiplicative inverse of a number x is a number y such that their product xy is 1.

So, we want a number such that

$10\cdot x = 1$

Divide both sides by 10:

$x=\dfrac{1}{10}$
