So if Lisa's reading list is 20% fiction, that's 20/100. So how can you simplify 20/100 so that the top number (the numerator) is 5?
If you divide both numbers by 4 (the same as dividing the fraction by 4), then you get 5/25. That means 5 out of 25 books are fiction. Her reading list is 25 books long.

Whats 58788188 to the nearest million

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

588,000,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inserting commas every 3 digits from the right, we have:

587,881,188 so that is 587 million and 881,000.

As 8 is the next digit after the 587 we add 1 to 587 to make 588 million.

Ad is tangent to circle o at d. find ab. round to the nearest tenth if necessary

Naddik [55]

Check the picture below.

$\bf 0=AB^2+6AB-121\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the quadratic formula}}{AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2-4(1)(-121)}}{2(1)}}
\\\\\\
AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{520}}{2}\implies AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{4\cdot 130}}{2}
\\\\\\
AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{2^2\cdot 130}}{2}\implies AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm 2\sqrt{130}}{2}
\\\\\\
AB=-3\pm\sqrt{130}\implies AB=
\begin{cases}
\boxed{-3+\sqrt{130}}\\\\
-3-\sqrt{130}
\end{cases}$

since the distance AB cannot be a negative value, thus is not -3-√(130).
