Hey there,
Let's say that the first piece is x cm
1st = x
2nd = x + 25%
3rd = x - 25%
100% = 240 cm
1% = 240 / 100
      = 2.4cm
x + x + 25 + x - 25 = 100
3x + 25 - 25 = 100
3x = 100 - 25 + 25
3x = 100
3x = 240 cm
x = 240 / 3
   = 80 cm
1st piece = 80 cm
2nd piece = 80 + (25% x 80)
                = 80 + 20
                = 100cm
3rd piece = 80 cm - (25% x 80)
                = 80 cm - 20
                = 60cm

Hope this helps :))

A bus travels at a constant speed of 48 km/h. How long will it take to travel 600 km?
grigory [225]

Answer:

It will take 12 and 30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to divide by <u>distance needed to travel by the speed</u>

600/48 is equal to 12.5 hours.

.5 hours is equal to 30 mins because 60mins times .5 is 30 minutes, therefore <u>the final answer is 12.5 hours</u>

I hope this helps :)

A simple random sample of 1000 American adults found that the average number of hours spent watching television during a typical
Anika [276]

Answer:

Larger for the sample of Canadians

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation (sampling variability) associated with the sample means and vice-versa.

The sample of Canadians is smaller, it is expected that their sampling variability is larger than the sample of Canadians based on the rule that as the sample size increases, the standard deviation of the means decreases; and as the sample size decreases, the standard deviation of the sample means increases

Multiplying and Dividing by Powers of 10 When multiplying a number by 10, move the decimal to the right. When multiplying a numb
just olya [345]

Answer:

Because we actually divide by 10 when a number is multiplied by 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be a number.

When we multiply a number by 10:

a \times 10 = 10 a (One '0' is increased in the number)

For example:

23 \times 10 = 230

Considering a decimal number:

2.3 \times 10 = 23

Multiplying a number with 0.1 (which is actually \frac{1}{10}) means dividing the number by 10.

23\times 0.1 =23\times \frac{1}{10}=2.3

Considering a decimal number:

2.3 \times 0.1 = 2.3 \times \frac{1}{10} = 0.23

<em>Therefore, When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left.</em>
