Remember this, 5 or higher goes up, 4 or lower the number stays the same. soooo.... lets see how i can start this off...
well,... you could....60 divided by 72 equals.... 0.8333333333333
then, starting from the decimal.. you go two spaces to the right... so thats 83.3333333333
so, since 3 is lower than 4, it would be the same.. and take off the extra three after the decimal. and we're basically... rounding off right??
so your answer should be 80%
Hope i helped!!! :D

Wes measures the floor area of his rectangular living room to replace the carpet with tiles.The room is 12.4 feet long and 9.8 f
Zina [86]

Answer: 121.52 square feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The room has the shape of a rectangle and its dimensions are 12.4 feet long and 9.8 feet wide. This means that dimension of the carpet is also 12.4 feet long and 9.8 feet wide. To replace the rectangular carpet with tiles, the area of the tiles must be equal to the area of the carpet. The area of the carpet is determined by length × width.

Length of the room or carpet = 12.4 feets

Width of the room or carpet = 9.8 feets

The number of square feets of tiles that Wes will need

=12.4 ×9.8 = 121.52 square feets

Slope intercept form of 12x-y=4
Nata [24]

Hey there! :)

Please keep in mind that slope-intercept form is : y=mx+b ; where m=slope, b=y-intercept

Using this, we can isolate y in our original given equation.

12x - y = 4

Start off by subtracting 12x from both sides.

-y = -12x + 4

Divide both sides by -1.

-y ÷ -1 = (-12x + 4) ÷ -1

Simplify!

y = 12x - 4

Therefore, using the slope-intercept form, we can come to the conclusion that because 12 is located in the "m" slot and "m=slope" then 12 is our slope. In addition, -4 is our y-intercept because it is located on the y position.

Slope = 12

Y-intercept = -4

3 Caleb claims that when you multiply a number by 10, you can just write a 0 at the right end of the number. Caleb gives the exa
devlian [24]

Answer:

They are both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It's interpretation of the concept. In common practice multiplying by 10 means you add a zero and that's what we teach 10 year olds. But what does adding a zero mean? It means adding a place value and that's what you learn when you are

So in both examples just add a decimal:

2.0 x 10 = 20.

0.2 x 10 = 2.0

In conclusion, it depends on the level of precision required in the discussion and the level of maturity as to who is correct in their examples. If you are teaching 3rd graders math, by all means you add a zero. If you are discussing physics you are shifting over a place value.
