James answered 14 items correctly on a 16-item quiz. what percent did he answer correctly?
Troyanec [42]
So,

I like to simplify a fraction first.  This is what I do when I'm in a store trying to find the unit price.

\frac{14}{16}

Factor.
\frac{2*7}{2*2*2*2}

Cross out ones.
\frac{7}{2*2*2}

Multiply it out.
\frac{7}{8}

In my head, I remember that one-eighth is equal to 0.125.

So seven-eighths is equal to 0.125 times 7.
0.125 * 7 = 0.875

Convert to percent form.
0.875 --> 87.5%

James answered 87.5% of his quiz correctly.

I actually have the decimal equivalents for eighths in my head when I'm shopping.  So once I get seven-eighths, I immediately know how much that is.  I can also subtract 0.125 from 1.000 to get seven-eighths.

QUESTION IN THE ATTACHMENT
eimsori [14]

Answer:

A. The sum of the first 10th term is 100.

B. The sum of the nth term is n²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Sum of 20th term (S20) = 400

Sum of 40th term (S40) = 1600

Sum of 10th term (S10) =..?

Sum of nth term (Sn) =..?

Recall:

Sn = n/2[2a + (n – 1)d]

Sn is the sum of the nth term.

n is the number of term.

a is the first term.

d is the common difference

We'll begin by calculating the first term and the common difference. This is illustrated below:

Sn = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d]

S20 = 20/2 [2a + (20 – 1)d]

S20= 10 [2a + 19d]

S20 = 20a + 190d

But:

S20 = 400

400 = 20a + 190d .......(1)

S40 = 40/2 [2a + (40 – 1)d]

S40 = 20 [2a + 39d]

S40 = 40a + 780d

But

S40 = 1600

1600 = 40a + 780d....... (2)

400 = 20a + 190d .......(1)

1600 = 40a + 780d....... (2)

Solve by elimination method

Multiply equation 1 by 40 and multiply equation 2 by 20 as shown below:

40 x equation 1:

40 x (400 = 20a + 190d)

16000 = 800a + 7600. ........ (3)

20 x equation 2:

20 x (1600 = 40a + 780d)

32000 = 800a + 15600d......... (4)

Subtract equation 3 from equation 4

Equation 4 – Equation 3

32000 = 800a + 15600d

– 16000 = 800a + 7600d

16000 = 8000d

Divide both side by 8000

d = 16000/8000

d = 2

Substituting the value of d into equation 1

400 = 20a + 190d

d = 2

400 = 20a + (190 x 2)

400 = 20a + 380

Collect like terms

400 – 380 = 20a

20 = 20a

Divide both side by 20

a = 20/20

a = 1

Therefore,

First term (a) = 1.

Common difference (d) = 2.

A. Determination of the sum of the 10th term.

First term (a) = 1.

Common difference (d) = 2

Number of term (n) = 10

Sum of 10th term (S10) =..?

Sn = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d]

S10 = 10/2 [2x1 + (10 – 1)2]

S10 = 5 [2 + 9x2]

S10 = 5 [2 + 18]

S10 = 5 x 20

S10 = 100

Therefore, the sum of the first 10th term is 100.

B. Determination of the sum of the nth term.

First term (a) = 1.

Common difference (d) = 2

Sum of nth term (Sn) =..?

Sn = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d]

Sn = n/2 [2x1 + (n – 1)2]

Sn = n/2 [2 + 2n – 2]

Sn = n/2 [2 – 2 + 2n ]

Sn = n/2 [ 2n ]

Sn = n²

Therefore, the sum of the nth term is n²

“If it takes 20 minutes to walk each block on the grid, how long will it take to walk from the art supply store to the game stor
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only one grid between the art supply store and the game story, so it will only take 20 minutes.

At what angle does a diffraction grating produce a second-order maximum for light having a first-order maximum at 20.0 degrees?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

At 43.2°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle we need to use the following equation:

d*sin(\theta) = m\lambda

Where:

d: is the separation of the grating

m: is the order of the maximum

λ: is the wavelength

θ: is the angle              

At the first-order maximum (m=1) at 20.0 degrees we have:

\frac{\lambda}{d} = \frac{sin(\theta)}{m} = \frac{sin(20.0)}{1} = 0.342

Now, to produce a second-order maximum (m=2) the angle must be:

sin(\theta) = \frac{\lambda}{d}*m

\theta = arcsin(\frac{\lambda}{d}*m) = arcsin(0.342*2) = 43.2 ^{\circ}

Therefore, the diffraction grating will produce a second-order maximum for the light at 43.2°.    

I hope it helps you!
