the united states uses 24%of the worlds supply of energy.what fraction of the worlds energy is this??

1 answer:

7 0

A percentage is just a fancy version of a percentage, a percentage is always out of 100 remember, so 24% would be equal to 24/100
we aren't done because we have to simplify
24/100, divide both sides by 2
12/50
again divide by 2
6/25
you can not simplify anymore so we can conclude that the US uses 6/25 of the world's energy

Answer:

$\pi = \frac{A}{2r^2 + 2rh}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to isolate $\pi$ by taking it common from both terms on the right:

$A=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh\\A=\pi (2r^2 + 2rh)$

Now, since we want $\pi$ in terms of the other variables, we can divide the left hand side (A) by whatever is multiplied with $\pi$ on the right hand side. Then we will have an expression for $\pi$ . Shown below:

$A=\pi (2r^2 + 2rh)\\\pi = \frac{A}{2r^2 + 2rh}$

This is the xpression for $\pi$

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=-\dfrac{3}{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\left(-\dfrac{5}{8}\right)=\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{5}{8}\\\\\text{find LCD:}\\\\8=2\cdot4,\ \text{therefore. LCD(4, 8) = 8}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1\cdot2}{4\cdot2}=\dfrac{2}{8}\\\\\text{continuing}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{8}-\dfrac{5}{8}=\dfrac{2-5}{8}=-\dfrac{3}{8}$
