Divide the amount of teenagers that smoked by the total population:
Multiply this decimal by 100 to convert into a percentage:
To round to the nearest decimal place, look at the hundredths value:
8.5
3
3 > 5
8.53 -> 8.5
8.5% of teenagers reported that they smoked at least one cigarette.
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
7m + 7m = 14m
46m - 14m = 32m
This would be 3990 if you require a whole number but for a decimal it would be 3989.24
Answer:
4 = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor 40 into its prime factors
40 = 23 • 5
To simplify a square root, we extract factors which are squares, i.e., factors that are raised to an even exponent.
Factors which will be extracted are :
4 = 22
Factors which will remain inside the root are :
10 = 2 • 5
To complete this part of the simplification we take the squre root of the factors which are to be extracted. We do this by dividing their exponents by 2 :
2 = 2
At the end of this step the partly simplified SQRT looks like this:
2 • sqrt (10x4)
Rules for simplifing variables which may be raised to a power:
(1) variables with no exponent stay inside the radical
(2) variables raised to power 1 or (-1) stay inside the radical
(3) variables raised to an even exponent: Half the exponent taken out, nothing remains inside the radical. examples:
(3.1) sqrt(x8)=x4
(3.2) sqrt(x-6)=x-3
(4) variables raised to an odd exponent which is >2 or <(-2) , examples:
(4.1) sqrt(x5)=x2•sqrt(x)
(4.2) sqrt(x-7)=x-3•sqrt(x-1)
Applying these rules to our case we find out that
SQRT(x4) = x2
sqrt (40x4) =
2 x2 • sqrt(10)
Simplified Root :
2 x2 • sqrt(10)
