Answer:
I believe the answer is c.) x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
I saw this on a webpage:
The moment we see “x,” we can consider picking numbers. The key here is contemplating how complicated the number should be. Swim with the current – let the question tell you. A quick look at the answer choices reveals that x could be something simple. Ultimately, we’re just dividing this value by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
Keeping this in mind, let’s think about the first line of the question. If there are 3 times as many adults as children, and we’re keeping things simple, we can say that there are 3 adults and 1 child, for a total of 4 people. So, x = 4.
Now, we know that among our 3 adults, there are twice as many women as men. So let’s say there are 2 women and 1 man. Easy enough. In sum, we have 2 women, 1 man, and 1 child at this picnic, and a total of 4 people. The question is how many men are there? There’s just 1! So now we plug x = 4 into the answers and keep going until we find x = 1. Clearly x/4 will work, so C is our answer. The key was to let the question dictate our approach rather than trying to impose an approach on the question.
Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
25 + _0.10__*25
25 + __2.5___
In the 1st blank, the answer is 0.1 or 0.10 because you have to change percents to decimals to find the raise. 10% as a decimal = 0.1 or 0.10
In the 2nd blank, the answer is 2.5 because on the top, it's 0.1*25, which equals 2.5, and 2.5 is the raise. All you have to do is multiply 10%, or 0.1, by 25, and you get 2.5.

1,236,840= 7 sig figs
422000 = 3 sig figs
0.000000000000211= 3 sig figs
0.000238 = 3 sig figs
0.0000205 = 3 sig figs
Step-by-step explanation:
Leading zeros are not significant, trailing zeros with no decimal are not significant. Whole numbers are always significant.
