How do you explain how you convert a decimal?

Troyanec [42]

For example if we have 7/10 we have one 0 in the denominator so we move the decimal spot 1 to the left

So:
7.0 becomes 0.70 or .7

To make a decimal into a fraction:

0.32

Just add two zeros to the right and that means 2 0's will be added in the denominator
so:

0.32
32.0/100 or 32/100

Hope that helps :)

The first step to solve this equation is placing everything with the exponential to one side of the equality, and everything without the exponential to the other side. So

$500(1.075)^{120x} = 100000$
