A percent is how many out of 100.

13/20 is how many out of 100?

You multiply the top and bottom by 5, as 5x20 is 100

13x5 is 65

Therefore, 65 out of every hundred cans, or 65%, are recycled

We have been given that you drop a ball from a window 50 metres above the ground. The ball bounces to 50% of its previous height with each bounce. We are asked to find the total distance traveled by up and down from the time it was dropped from the window until the 25th bounce.

We will use sum of geometric sequence formula to solve our given problem.

$S_n=\frac{a\cdot(1-r^n)}{1-r}$ , where,

a = First term of sequence,

r = Common ratio,

n = Number of terms.

For our given problem $a=50$ , $r=50\%=\frac{50}{100}=0.5$ and $n=25$ .

$S_{25}=\frac{50\cdot(1-(0.5)^{25})}{1-0.5}$

$S_{25}=\frac{50\cdot(1-0.0000000298023224)}{0.5}$

$S_{25}=\frac{50\cdot(0.9999999701976776)}{0.5}$

$S_{25}=100\cdot(0.9999999701976776)$

$S_{25}=99.99999701976776\approx 100$

Therefore, the ball will travel 100 meters and option B is the correct choice.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

3:the value of the 4 in 0.04 is the value of the 4 in 0.4 divided by 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because in decimal places, we have what is called place value. In a decimal number after the decimal point, each number place is divided by an increasing power of 10. So, for example, if we have a decimal number 0.82, the place value of the 8 is 8/10 while that of the 2 is 2/10² = 2/100.

So, in the given numbers, 0.04 has a place value of 4/100 and 0.4 has a place value of 4/10. So, we can see that 4/100 = 4/10 ÷ 10 = 4/10 × 1/10.

So, the value of the 4 in 0.04 is the value of the 4 in 0.4 divided by 10.
