What is 18 divided by 0.2 and how?

1 answer:

5 0

0.2 is the same as 2/10

18/(2/10)

As you may have learned in school, when you divide a fraction, you flip the fraction in the denominator, and change it to multiplication

18/(2/10) becomes 18 x (10/2)

multiply normally

18 x 10 = 180

divide to find answer

180/2 = 90

90 is your answer

hope this helps

Remember, when you meet this problem, flip the second fraction, and change the division sign into multiplication. (always second, never first (if first is a fraction)).

A study found that 7 out of 10 participates could curl their tongue. If there are 200 total, how many of them are expected to be

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

140 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make two ratios...

7:10

x:200

We can since 10*20 = 200, we can multiply 7 by 20 to get x.

x=7*20=140

140 people are expected to be able to curl their tongue

Answer:

Number of years between 1950 and 2100 =

$2100 - 1950 = 150 \: years$

150 = 50 + 50 + 50 years.

$2500000 \times 150 = 375,000,000$

So, total population in 2100 is 375,000,000.

Open-Ended Write an equation for the line in slope intercept form.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

y = -2x+2

Writing the slope was the more difficult part. Writing the y-intercept was the easiest because I had to select to points on the line and solve to get the slope. The y-intercept was already explicitly shown on the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx+b

y = -2x + 2

What is the equation of the function that is graphed as line a?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations in the options are in the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept).

In the graph, the line cuts through the y-axis at y= -2. Thus, c= -2 and the 2nd option can be eliminated.
