Change in y = -200 meters
change in x = 400,000 meters

slope  = change in y / change in x = -200/400,000 = -1/2,000 meters

Answer:

The average gradient is 0.5 \frac{m}{Km}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two important data to solve this problem:

1- Stream begins at an elevation (y) of 200 m

2- Stream flows a distance of (x) 400 km.

We need to calculate the average gradient. Gradient definition is the drop in elevation of a stream divided by the distance the water travel.

So, gradient (g) will be elevation (y) divided by distance (x).

g = \frac{y}{x}=\frac{200m}{400Km} =\frac{2m}{4Km}

g = 0.5 \frac{m}{Km}

Finally, the average gradient is 0.5 \frac{m}{Km}.

How do you convert a fraction to a percent
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
To convert from a fraction to a percent,
You just need to divide the fractions then multiply the product by 100.

Examples:
1. What is 3/4 in percent?
a. 3/4 = 0.75 x 100 = 75%
b. 45/98 = 0.46 x 100 = 46&
c. 60/100 = 0.6 x 100 = 60%
d. 1/5 = 0.2 x 100 = 20&
e. 6/99 = 0.06 x 100 = 6%

 Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. A flower garden is 11.25 meters long. Mr. Owens wants to make a border along one si
vaieri [72.5K]
To find the answer just divide the length of a flower garden by the length of a brick:

11.25 / 0.25 = 45 (that's how many bricks are needed to be put).

There's nothing to round, but you can write it as a decimal to the hundredth place as 45.00.

Lim x-&gt;-5(((1)/(5)+(1)/(x))/(10+2x))=<br><br>correct answer 1/10x = -1/50<br><br>explain:
slava [35]

Given:

The limit problem is:

lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{x}}{10+2x}

To find:

The value of the given limit problem.

Solution:

We have,

lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{x}}{10+2x}

It can be written as:

=lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{\dfrac{x+5}{5x}}{2(5+x)}

=lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{x+5}{5x}\times \dfrac{1}{2(5+x)}

=lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{1}{5x\times 2}

=lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{1}{10x}

Applying limit, we get

lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{1}{10x}=\dfrac{1}{10(-5)}

lim_{x\to -5}\dfrac{1}{10x}=\dfrac{1}{-50}

Therefore, the value of given limit problem is -\dfrac{1}{50}.
