Percent means per 100 so 40% 40 per 100, or simply 40<span>/100</span>

When we divide 40 by 100 we get 0.4 which is a decimal number.

to convert from percent to decimal you have to divide by 100, and then remove the % sign.

To convert a percent to a decimal, you move the the decimal left two places to convert the percent to a decimal. For example, if you were to convert 14% to a decimal, you move the decimal left two places so that 14% converted to a decimal would look something like this: 0.14

Solve the absolute value inequality: |x + 12| + 5 < 27 Isolate the absolute value by subtracting 5 from both sides.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

- 34 < x < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities of the type | x | < a, always have a solution of the form

- a < x < a

given | x + 12 | + 5 < 27 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

| x + 12 | < 22, then

- 22 < x + 12 < 22 ( subtract 12 from all 3 intervals )

- 34 < x < 10

What two rational expressions sum to 2x+3/x^2-5x+4

Anni [7]

Answer:

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression: $\frac{2x + 3}{x^2 - 5x + 4}$ , to express this in simplified form, we would need to apply the concept of partial fraction.

Step 1: factorise the denominator

$x^2 - 5x + 4$

$x^2 - 4x - x + 4$

$(x^2 - 4x) - (x + 4)$

$x(x - 4) - 1(x - 4)$

$(x- 1)(x - 4)$

Thus, we now have: $\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)}$

Step 2: Apply the concept of Partial Fraction

Let,

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)}$ = $\frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}$

Multiply both sides by (x - 1)(x - 4)

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} * (x - 1)(x - 4)$ = $(\frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}) * (x - 1)(x - 4)$

$2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

Step 3:

Substituting x = 4 in $2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

$2(4) + 3 = A(4 - 4) + B(4 - 1)$

$8 + 3 = A(0) + B(3)$

$11 = 3B$

$\frac{11}{3} = B$

$B = \frac{11}{3}$

Substituting x = 1 in $2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

$2(1) + 3 = A(1 - 4) + B(1 - 1)$

$2 + 3 = A(-3) + B(0)$

$5 = -3A$

$\frac{5}{-3} = \frac{-3A}{-3}$

$A = -\frac{5}{3}$

Step 4: Plug in the values of A and B into the original equation in step 2

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}$

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}$

You have a wooden rod which is 24 1/2 inches long. Carlos needs a piece which is 8 3/4 inches long and Amanda needs a piece whic

ipn [44]

Answer:

8 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the rod = 24 1/2 inches

Carlos = 8 3/4 inches

Amanda = 6 3/8 inches

length of the rod remaining = Total length - ( Carlos + Amanda)

= 24 1/2 - (8 3/4 + 6 3/8)

= 49/2 - (35/4 + 51/8)

= 49/2 - ( 75+51/8)

= 49/2 - 126/8

= 196-126/8

= 70/8

= 8 6/8 inches

= 8 3/4 inches

Length of rod remaining = 8 3/4 inches

maeve likes to make her salads in advance she made 15 salads for 3 days how many salads does she eat per day unit rate

Tju [1.3M]

The number of salads Maeve eats per day if she made 15 salads for 3 days is 5 salads eaten per day.

Unit rate refers to the number of units of the first type of quantity corresponding to one unit of the second type of quantity.

Number of salads = 15 salads
Number of days = 3 days

Unit rate of salad eaten per day = Number of salads ÷ Number of days

= 15 ÷ 3

= 5 salads eaten per day

A salad is a food made primarily of a mixture of raw or cold ingredients, typically vegetables, usually served with a dressing such as vinegar or mayonnaise.

Therefore, the number of salads Maeve eats per day if she made 15 salads for 3 days is 5 salads eaten per day.
