What is 56 1/4% as a fraction in simplest form

Which operation would you do second in the following problem?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

C. Multiplication

Step-by-Step Explanation:

This problem is testing your knowledge of the Order of Operations. Here is the correct order:

Exponents (inside parenthesis)- There are no exponents for you to solve in this expression, so just ignore this step for now. (example: (4 + 2²) --> (4 + 4))

Parenthesis (from left to right)- In this case, you would solve the expressions inside the parenthesis <em>first</em> because there are no exponents.

Multiplication and Division (from left to right outside of parenthesis)- After solving the expressions inside the parenthesis, there will be one multiplication you need to solve next.

Addition and Subtraction (from left to right outside of parenthesis)- The only operation left for you to do now is addition. You can either do this in one whole step, or you can divide it into two steps. I've done it in two to keep it simple.

Here is the problem worked out in steps in case you are confused:

Step 1: Parenthesis

(-8 ÷ 4) + 5 + 4(3 - 6)

(-2) + 5 + 4(-3)

Step 2: Multiplication

-2 + 5 + 4(-3)

-2 + 5 + (-12)

Step 3: Addition

-2 + 5 + (-12)

3 + (-12)

-9

(Note: '3 + (-12)' could also be written as '3 - 12', making it a subtraction instead of an addition)

Hope this helps!

What is the standard form of the equation with endpoints of a diameter at the points (1,8) and (-3,2)?

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i think you are talking about the diameter of the circle.

equation of the circle is

(x-1)(x+3)+(y-8)(y-2)=0

x^{2}-x+3x-3+y^{2}-8y-2y+16=0

or x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-10y+13=0

Mary owned n sheep and Sam had exactly 4 times as many sheep as Mary.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The least value of n is, 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary(M) owned the number of sheep is n i.e, M = n sheep

Sam(S) had exactly four times as many sheep as Mary , i.e, S = 4 n sheep

As per the given condition Mary buys 17 extra sheep

Now, Mary has total number of sheep, M = n +17 sheep

And Sam sells 8 of his sheep that means he has now,

But, Sam still has more sheep than Mary i.e,

Solve an inequality:

Add 8 both sides we get;

Simplify:

Now, subtract n from both the side, we get;

Simplify:

or

Since n is the number of sheep in integer,

then the least value of n is, 9.

The dividend is a factor of 60. The divisor is a factor of 18. The quotient is a multiple of 3. Use the numbers to find one poss

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The dividend is 360, divisor is 6 and quotient is 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 3= 3*1

Factors of 18= 3*2*3

Factors of 60= 3*2*2*5

Taking LCM= 3*2*2*2*3*5= 360

60 is a factor of 360

The dividend is 360

If 360 is divided by 6 we get 60 which is a multiple of 3

and 6 is a factor of 18.

Therefore the dividend is 360 divisor is 6 and quotient is 60.

If y varies jointly as x and z and y = 12 when x = -2 and z=3, find y when x is 4 and z is -1

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

D. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies jointly as x and z

y = k(xz)

-------------------------

Find k, the constant of variation

y = 12 when x = -2 and z=3

12 = k(-2 * 3)

12 = k(-6)

k = -2

-------------------------

find y when x is 4 and z is -1

using k = -2

y = -2(4 * -1)

y = -2(-4)

y = 8
