why is 0.5% not equal to 1/2?

2 answers:

It is not equal to 1/2 because .5% is indeed a percent, and therefore a fraction of 100. If you were to rewrite .5% as a fraction, you would write it as 5/100, which simplifies to 1/20, which is nowhere near 1/2. 50% or .5 would be equal to 1/2.

7. Amber has $37 to spend. She bought a coffee for

enot [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.75 ( would be the coffee) + 1.50d (donuts each but an unknown quantity)

total amount must be less than $37 dollars

Your answer would be 37.00 - 1.75 = 35.25 cents

35.25 / 1.50 = 23.5 donuts - you can not purchase a half of a donut so you can buy 1 coffee and 23 donuts for $36.25

How do I graph this someone plz tell me.

hodyreva [135]

Easy. your starting point is going to be at -2 on the y-axis. then from that point (-2) you're going to go down 1 and then over 2. then draw a straight line through those two points. The line should be a negative line.
