why is 0.5% not equal to 1/2?

2 answers:

7 0

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.

NemiM [27]

If it is $4.00 per gallon then we need to find the price of 7 gallons.
7 * 4.00 = 28
so it costs $28 to travel 350 miles.
no to find the cost per mile, we need to divide.
350 / 28 = 12.5
so the cost to run the car per mile is $12.50

Write an equation that represents degrees fahrenheit in terms of degrees celsius. let xx represent the temperature in degrees ce

IgorC [24]

As we know Conversion from fahrenheit to celsius is
$F - 32 = \frac{9C}{5}$

We can write it also as

$F = \frac{9C}{5}+32$

F as y and C as x then we can write it as

$y = \frac{9x}{5} + 32$
