Her mistake using decimal division is: \frac{26}{8} =3.25 and \frac{14}{4} =3.5

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The decimal numeral system is the standard system to denote the integer and non-integer numbers. The decimal numeral system is the extension to non-integer numbers of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.  The number we divide by is called the divisor. To divide decimal numbers we multiply the divisor by as many 10's as necessary until we get a whole number.

15 divided by 0.2. Therefore 15 is called the dividend and 0.2 is called the divisor. The number we divide by is called the divisor.

Problem: 15 divided by 0.2.

Let us multiply the 0.2 by 10, that shifts the decimal point out of the way:

0.2 * 10 = 2 also 15 * 10 = 150

So \frac{15}{0.2} has become \frac{150}{0.2} (they are both 10 times larger):  \frac{150}{2} = 75. Therefore the answer is:  \frac{15}{0.2}  = 75

Back to the real question:

Sarah says that 26 divided by 8 equals 14 divided 4 because both are "3 R2." Show her mistake using decimal division

\frac{26}{8} =3.25

\frac{14}{4} =3.5

The other way to show the mistake can be seen in the picture attached below

The number of employees for a certain company has been decreasing each year by 2%. If the company currently has 690 employees an
solmaris [256]

Answer:

511 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P=690

rate= 2%

time = 13 years

let us apply the simple interest formula

A=P(1-rt)

Note the  negative sign (since we are dealing with decrease)

A= 690(1-0.02*13)

A=690(1-0.26)

A=690*0.74

A=510.6

A= 511 approx

Hence the population will reduce to 511 employees

Use the dchnition of similarity to solve the following problem.
sveta [45]

Answer:

  1063 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For shadow problems, we assume the sun's rays are parallel, so the triangles formed are similar. That means the ratio of height to shadow length is the same for each object.

  h/(580 ft) = (5.5 ft)/(3 ft)

  h = (5.5 ft)(580/3) ≈ 1063 ft

The height of the monument is about 1063 feet.

2470.28277045 To 3 decimal places
jeka57 [31]

To run the these figures to 3 decimal places

you need to count from the digit after the decimal point until you reach the 3rd number which is 2

so now the answer is 2470.283

This is because the decimal point lies between 2 and 7 and since 7 is great than 5 we add 1 to the 2 making it 3
