Change the fraction 1/5 to a percent

Mathematics
2 answers:
Bingel [31]3 years ago
7 0

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we wanted to write \frac{1}{5} as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to \frac{1}{5} that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

\frac{1}{5} = \frac{n}{100}

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

<h2>5n = 100</h2><h2>÷5     ÷5   ← divide by 5 on both sides</h2><h2>  </h2><h2>  n = 20</h2><h2 /><h2>Therefore, \frac{1}{5} can be written as 20%.</h2>

Converting 1/5 to the decimal fraction 0.20 may make understanding this problem a bit easier.


Since 1/5 = 0.20,


1/5 = 0.20(100^) = 20%.

Sally bought 124 sheets of stickers. Each sheet had 14 stickers. She gave away 204 stickers to her family and friends on Christm
frez [133]

Answer:

Sally has 1,532 stickers remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to determine the total amount of stickers Sally bought by multiplying the number of sheets she bought for the number of stickers in each sheet:

124*14=1,736

Now, you have to subtract the number of stickers Sally gave away to her family and friends from the total amount of stickers she bought:

1,736-204=1,532

According to this, the answer is that Sally has 1,532 stickers remaining.

A store is having a sale on jelly beans and almonds. For 6 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of almonds, the total cost is $12
CaHeK987 [17]

Solution:

Let each pond of  jelly beans cost $x.

and each pond of almonds cost $y.

Then we can write

6x+2y=12.......(i)

3x+5y=15.....(ii)

Now solve these two equations together using substitution we get

3x=15-5y

30-10y+2y=12\\&#10;\\&#10;-8y=12-30\\&#10;\\&#10;-8y=-18\\&#10;\\&#10;y=2.25\\&#10;\\&#10;3x=15-5y=15-5*2.25=3.75\\&#10;\\&#10;x=1.25

Hence each pond of jelly bean cost 1.25$

Each pond of almond costs 2.25$

Find the perimeter of rectangle whose length is 40 and the diagonal is 41 cm<br>​
Bond [772]

Answer:

<h2>              P = 98 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given one side and diagonal of rectangle we can use Pythagorean theorem to calculate the other side of it.

L=40\, cm\\D=41\,cm\\W=\ ?\\\\W^2+L^2=D^2\\\\W^2+40^2=41^2\\\\W^2+1600=1681\\\\W^2=81\\\\W=9

Perimeter:

P = 2W + 2L = 2•40 + 2•9 = 80 + 18 = 98

The relationship between the amount of money x that Cannon Precision Instruments spends on advertising and the company's total s
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

S'(x)=-0.006x2+0.8x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of the sales S(x) with respect to the amount of money spent on advertising x is then the derivative of S(x) with respect to x. What we have to calculate is S'(x).

We know that the derivative of ax^n is nax^{n-1} (where a is a constant), and the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives, so we can calculate the derivative of each term independently:

S'(x)=(−0.002x3 + 0.4x2 + 9x + 500)'=(−0.002)(3)x2 + (0.4)(2)x + 9

Which means:

S'(x)=-0.006x2+0.8x+9
