then 0.06 as a fraction is 6/100
6/100 can be turn into 3/50
3/50 is the answer :)
Answer:
8.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a square has equal side lengths, the formula for area is s^2, where s stands for side. Since we are given the area, s^2=75 square feet. Take the square root of both sides to get s is equivalent to the square root of 75 square feet. When this becomes a decimal, it is 8.66 feet. Since we are supposed to round to the nearest tenths, it rounds up to 8.7 feet per side length
Answer:
20, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume total number of students registered is n
Last week n/4 people are absent
so people present are n - n/4 = <u>3n/4</u>
Today after return of Jen 1/5 n are absent
so people present are n - n/5 = 4n/5
which is also equal to last week present people + 1 (Jen)
= 3n/4 + 1
= (3n + 4) / 4
so (3n + 4) / 4 = 4n/5
=> 3n + 4 = 4n/5 * 4
=> (3n + 4) * 5 = 16n
=> 15n + 20 = 16n
=> 20 = n
=> n = 20
So total students registered for class is 20
today no of people absent = n/5 = 20/5 = 4
