Answer:
The second one
Step-by-step explanation:
......................
Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving
<span>$62..50 </span>
<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>
Answer:
A. 2 1/4 + 3 2/5
B. 113/20
Step-by-step explanation: For A: All you had to do was multiply -1(-3 2/5) and that was going to make your answer positive because the negatives were going to cancel each other out.
For B: First you had to make your fractions improper fractions instead of mixed numbers. And that would make it 9/4 + 17/5. Next, since they don't have the same denominator, you would have had to find the least common multiple of 5 and 4 which is 20. So then how ever many times your denominator went in to 20, that's what you'll multiply your numerator by. 45/20 + 68/20= 113/20
The answer is 2/100 or 1/50!
6/10 is equivalent to 60/100.
62/100 - 60/100 = 2/100 = 1/50
So, 6/10 + 1/50 = 62/100
6/10 + 2/100 = 62/100
(Use 1/50 because that’s the simplified answer!)
I hope this made sense! Good luck!
