.002 is 1/10 of what

1 answer:

3 0

This uses the concept of proportions.

.002 converted to a fraction is 2/1000, or 1/500.

We set up the proportion like so:
10/100 = .002/x
Solve for x.

Cross-multiply.
10 * x = .002 * 100
10 * x = .2
x = .2 / 10
x = .02

The answer is .02

The Hydro water department has a monthly service charge of $13.90 and a volume charge of $1.45 for every 100 cubic feet of water

erik [133]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you can disregard the initial $13.90 cost because we're only looking for an INCREASE in price. If the Johnson family used 200 cubic feet MORE of water, we need to multiply 2 * 1.45 which gets us 2.90. We multiply 2 by 1.45 because 200 represented in x is 2, since x is represented in hundreds.

abruzzese [7]

So basically, you subtract (2677-285 = 2392) then you divide by 2 (2392/2=1196) so Ricky has 1196 and Pedro has 1481
