How do you use a number line from least to greatest

Step-by-step explanation:

left to right.

the smallest numbers are on the left, the largest in the right.

all the numbers in the line are sorted.

so, going from left to right the numbers get continuously larger (no exception), and when going from right to left, they get continuously smaller.

remember that the negative numbers are smaller than the positive numbers. so, the negative numbers (if there are any in your case) are on the left side.

and negative numbers get smaller by "seemingly increasing" : -1 is larger than -2 and so on.

so, the range of the negative numbers starts on the left side with the "largest" negative number (but when you think about it, it IS the smallest number) and their absolute value gets smaller until they reach 0, and then the positive numbers start from small to large.

this also asked to fractions and mixed fraction numbers :

e.g. -2 1/2 is smaller than -2 and larger than -3.

because it is -2 + -1/2 = -2 - 1/2 = -2 1/2.

in that sense it is the same principle as with positive numbers :

2 1/2 = 2 + 1/2

-2 1/2 = -2 - 1/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So you just have to find 2.25% of 56.

To find a certain percentage of something, you multiply it. Let's write out a sentence explaining what you need to do. You have to find:

2.25% of 56

Whenever you've got a sentence like this, all you've got to do is change the word "of" to a multiplication symbol. And now you've got an expression:

2.25% × 56

Let's convert the percentage to a decimal. To do this, you simply remove the percent symbol, then move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

2.25% = 0.0225

And now you have:

0.0225 × 56

Then you just do the math! I am assuming you already know how to do decimal multiplication so I'm not going to explain the process here.

But once you multiply 0.0225 × 56, you get an answer: 1.26

After the presentation to the company CEO, Ms Grant was given q substantial raise her pay went from $18 an hour to $27.90per hou

Leona [35]

Answer:

55%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the scenario is that Ms Grant made a presentation to the company that made her pay rise from $18 an hour to $27.90 an hour. We are now asked to find the percentage increase.

Mathematically, to get this, all we need to do is to subtract the old value from the new value, divided by the new value and multiplied by 100%. What we are saying here is that:

(New value - old value)/old value * 100%

(27.90 - 18)/18 * 100%

9.9/18 * 100%

That equals 990/18 = 55%

This means Ms Grant’s pay increased by 55%

Can someone answer these questions for me? It's for my study guide. I will be posting more questions soon.

The first is 6.1 using the distance formula.
distance = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)
plug it all in and simplify
you get 6.1

the next one is the midpoint. u just take add both values of x together and divide by 2 to get the x coordinate and then add together both values of y and divide by 2 to get the y value. the midpoint is (8,7)

to find the perimeter of the rectangle, add the lengths of each side. 25 for the height and you would add 2 of those and then there are 2 sides as long as the length that you would add. it would be height+height+length+length which is 25+25+77+77=204. remember units so 204 ft
