The answer is:  " 3:5" ; or, write as:  "3/5<span>" .
</span>___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
  "60%" =  60/100  = 60 ÷ 100" ;  so take:  "60" ; and move the decimal back
TWO (2) places (since "100" has "two zeros" ; and since we are DIVIDING) ;

Note: Since we are "dividing"; we move the decimal BACK (to the LEFT). 

→ that is:  treat "60" as: "60." ;  and move the "implied decimal" back two spaces;   to get:  "0.60"  ;  which simplies to:  "0.6" ; 

→ 0.6 = 6/10 ; which reduces:  "6/10 = (6÷2)/(10÷2) = 3/5 ; or, write as:  "3:5".
_______________________________________________________
Other methods:
________________________________________________________
 "60%" =  60/100 ;  cancel out 'one zero' from both the numerator and the denominator; which is the same as:  "60/100 = (60÷10)/(100÷10) = 6/10 ;  Then reduce to:  "3/5"; or write as: "3:5" ; as explained above.
________________________________________________________
Other method:  Use calculator:  "60%" to get: "0.6" and write as "6/10" and—as aforementioned— reduce to: "3/5" (unless your calculator does not automatically include this fraction mode as well); and write the answer as:  "3/5" ; or "3:5" .

    → Alternately, using a calculator:  "60 ÷ 100" ;  and follow through using the directly aforementioned method—as well as the aforementioned methods, if needed; to ultimately get: "0.6" —which equals: "6/10"—and ultimately get:                   "3/5" ; or, write as:  "3:5" .

Hope this explanation, albeit lengthy, is helpful

Assuming the numbers are percents, the answer is 25%, because 5/20 is 1/4, then convert the fraction to a percentage and you get 25%.

Determine whether the improper integral converges or diverges, and find the value of each that converges.
Temka [501]

Answer:

It diverges.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inetegral:  \int\limits^{\infty}_2 \frac{1}{x} (\ln x)^2 dx

\int\limits^{\infty}_2 \frac{1}{x} (\ln x)^2 dx=\int\limits^{\infty}_2 (\ln x)^2 d(\ln x)=\\\\=\lim_{t \to \infty} \int\limits^t_2 (\ln x)^2d(\ln x)=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{(\ln t)^3}{3} |^t_2=\infty-\frac{(\ln 2)^3}{3} =\infty

So it is divergent.
