Mathematics

Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
6 0

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to write 5/8 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 5/8 that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

\frac{5}{8} = \frac{n}{100}

<h3 /><h3>8n = 500</h3><h3>÷8     ÷8</h3><h3>    n = 62.5%</h3><h3>Therefore, 5/8 is equal to 62.5%.</h3><h3 />

To write a fraction as a decimal, we can simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

5 ÷ 8 = 0.625

Therefore, 5/8 is equal to 0.625.

3. The average distance from the sun to the planet Mercury is about 58,000,000 km. The diameter of a human hair is about 0.0025
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Distance of Sun and Mercury = 58,000,000 km.

In Scientific notation, it would be: 5.8 × 10⁷ Km

Diameter of a human hair = 0.0025 cm

In scientific notation, it would be: 2.5 × 10⁻³ cm

Before Comparison, we need to bring centimeter to Kilometers or vice-versa, so we can easily calculate then, here, we will go from cm to Km.

2.5 × 10⁻³ × 10⁻⁵ Km = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸

Now, we can compare the values, 

5.8 × 10⁷ Km > 2.5 × 10⁻⁸

[ reason. - power of smaller number is in negative, it means, it is denominator, which would be very small as compared to other ]

Every day, the Scott Pet Store uses 3 bags of dog food to feed the dogs. For how many days will 1/2 of a bag of dog food last?
nadezda [96]
If you would like to know for how many days will 1/2 of a bag of dog food last, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 day ... 3 bags of dog food
x days = ? ... 1/2 of a bag of dog food

1 * 1/2 = 3 * x
1/2 = 3 * x         /3
x = 1/2 * 1/3
x = 1/6 of a day

The correct result would be 1/6 of a day.
