How can you estimate to find the percent of a number? Please give a full explanation.

Gee this gonna be hard to do without giving an example, but one way you could estimate the percentage of a number is to round the number to the nearest benchmark number (10 or 5) and estimate the percentage from that new number.
I hope this helped! :-)

Suppose that w and t vary inversely and that t = 5/12

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Option B. t=5/3w ;1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that $w$ varies Inversely with $t$ thus generally speaking $w$ ∝ $\frac{1}{t}$ since they are inverted, <u>otherwise</u> if they were proportionally varied then $w$ ∝ $t$ . This means that there is a constant value ( $a$ ) for which $w$ is inversely proportional to $t$ and can be mathematically expressed as:

$w=\frac{a}{t}$ Eqn. (1)

Now since we are given the values of $w=4$ and $t=\frac{5}{12}$ , we can plug them in Eqn. (1) and find our constant of proportionality $a$ as follow:

$w=\frac{a}{t}\\ \\a=wt\\\\a=(4)(\frac{5}{12} )\\\\a=\frac{5}{3}$

Now that we have our constant we can find the new $t$ value for the second value of $w=5$ as follow:

$w=\frac{a}{t} \\\\t=\frac{a}{w}\\ \\t=\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{5}\\\\t=\frac{5}{15}\\ \\t=\frac{1}{3}\\$

Therefore based on the options give, we can see that Option B. is correct since

$t=\frac{5}{3w}$ and for $w=5$ , then $t=\frac{1}{3}$

Savannah is planning to buy enough raffle

Alborosie

Answer:

20 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

tickets/total tickets * 100% = 10% chance to win the raffle

x/200*100=10

solve for x

x/200 = 10/100

x = 200(0.1)

x = 20

Jimmy's cedar trunk is in the shape of a rectangular prism and has a volume of 3/4 cubic yard. How many cubic blocks with a side

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: 6 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of the rectangular prism is $V=\dfrac{3}{4}\ yd^3$

Length of the cubic block is $a=\dfrac{1}{2}\ yd$

Volume of each cubic block is

$\Rightarrow V_o=\left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3\\\\\Rightarrow V_o=\dfrac{1}{8}\ yd^3$

Suppose, n blocks are required to measure the volume of Prism

$\Rightarrow V=nV_o\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}=n\cdot \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{3\times 8}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow n=6\ \text{blocks}$

Thus, 6 blocks are required to measure the volume of prism.
