It's because a tenth means that you've divided it by 10. So if it's 20, it means you're multiplying tenths by 20, leaving you with 2 wholes.
For example, you have 2 cakes and you cut each into 10 slices, the slices are each one tenth of the whole cake, and in total there are 20 tenths.
Answer:
The correct answer is 2030.
Step-by-step explanation:
To start we must analyze the information we have.
We know that a city has 8000 inhabitants and that each year this number increases by 0.5%. That means that <u>each year it has 40 more inhabitants</u>:
(8000 . 0,5) : 100 = 40
Having this information we could do a cross multiplication:
1 year ------- 40 inhabitants
x years ------- 81200
81200 = 40.x
x = 81200 : 40
x = 2030
In this way we can verify that the correct answer is 2030.
The median is 84.5. Feel free to ask me any other questions.
