Well first you would set up your ratio, 17/x = 35/100. You are trying to find x. To do so you cross multiply and divide. So first you have 17× 100 which equals 1700. The you divide that number by 35 which is around 48 like you said. I usually just round to the hundredths place so just cut it at 48.57 but to be safe say approximately 48.57

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires options and the options are missing.

However, the following explanation will guide you

Start by representing 8 thousandths as a digit

$\frac{8}{1000} = 0.008$

i.e.

8 thousandths implies 0.008

Next;

Replace the 0s with dashes

_ . _ _8

Note that there are two dashes after the decimal point and before 8

PS: The dashes are used to represent digits

This implies that thousandths is the 3rd digit after the decimal point

Typical examples to back up this explanation are:

Consider the following sequence

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a₇ = 2.375

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = $\frac{-76}{152}$ = $\frac{38}{-76}$ = $\frac{-19}{38}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ $(r)^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 152 and r = - $\frac{1}{2}$ , then

$a_{n}$ = 152 $(-\frac{1}{2}) ^{n-1}$ , so

a₇ = 152 $(-\frac{1}{2}) ^{6}$ = 152 × $\frac{1}{64}$ = 2.375
