Answer:
To convert a decimal to percent, just multiply it by 100, or move the decimal place 2 times
Ex: 0.29 x 100 = 29
The answer would be 29%
To convert a percent to a decimal, do the opposite
Ex: 29%/100 = 0.29
3(x-8)=12
I got this equation since there are three of the "x-8" sections that add up to the twelve length bar above
Answer:
to multiply any number by 10, just tag ONE zero on the end. To multiply any number by 100, just tag TWO zeros on the end. To multiply any number by 1,000, just tag THREE zeros on the end. Note especially what happens when the number you multiply already ends in a zero or zeros.
One taco would cost about $1.20.
You can use factors to solve. Determine all the factor pairs of 24, find the two that are two numbers apart.
1, 24 X
2, 12 X
3, 8 X
4, 6 YES!
Algebraic way to solve using Quadratics:
l = 2 + w
A = lw
A = (2 + w)w Substitute (2 + w) for l
24 = (2 + w)w Substitute 24 in for the area
24 = 2w + w^2 Distribute
w^2 + 2w - 24 = 0 Set equal to 0 (put in standard form)
(w + 6) (w - 4) = 0 Factor
w + 6 = 0 and w - 4 = 0 Set each factor equal to 0.
So w= -6 or w = 4 ... -6 makes no sense for a length! So the width must be 4 and the length will be 4 + 2, which is 6.
