Step-by-step explanation:
When you divide by a number, you basically are multiplying by the reciprocal
The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2
4/10 ÷ 2 = 4/10 × 1/2 = 2/10
4/10 × 1/2 = 2/10
Using a number line,
Start at 4/10 and move down by 2 until you reach 0
Start at 4/10 and move up by 1/2 from 0 until you reach 4/10
(Count the number of humps)
Both will be the same
Answer: 25% decrease in number of boxes of goods
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to find a percent of a number you turn the percent into a decimal
Example:
Step 1
25% of 748
Step 2
0.25*748=561
This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2
an = a1 * r^(n - 1)
n = term to find = 21
a1 = first term = 0.05
r = common ratio = 2
now we sub
a21 = 0.05 * 2^(21 - 1)
a21 = 0.05 * 2^20
a21 = 0.05 * 1048576
a21 = 52428.80 <==== after working 21 days
