Maya is making dream catchers with her family. Each dream catcher takes 1.53 feet of string. She has 6 people in her family. How much string does Maya need total?

1.53*6=9.18

You know where to put the decimal because you count how many places in the decimal is for the two numbers being multiplied (the only decimal in the two numbers being multiplied is in the number 1.53 and that’s is two places in) and then go that many places in on the product (918 two places in from then right would be 9.18)

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting percent to decimal : 2.2/100 = 0.022

Finding 2.2$ of $75k : 75,000 x 0.022 = $1,650 (also the increase in one year)

Finding how much it was worth after 11 years :

(75,000 x 0.022) x 11 = $18,150 or 1,650 x 11 = $18,150

Now add the product to the regular amount to find out the answer:

75,000 + 18,150 = $93,150 (which is how much it increased after 11 years)
