a) The fire burnt 840.6 square miles

b) The fire burnt 16.8 tempe

Step-by-step explanation:

1 square mile = 640 acres

a) to find how many square miles did the fire burn:

Total area the fire burn = 538000 acres

1 square miles = 640 acres

Concert the acres into square miles

538000/ 640 = 840.6 square miles

The fire burnt 840.6 square miles

b) 50 square miles= 1 temperatures

The no. Of tempe the fire burn = 840.6/50

= 16.8 tempe

The fire burnt 16.8 tempe

Since these questions all require similar methods of solving, I will only completely work out the first question of each type.

2. To find \frac{7}{10}as a decimal, all we need to do is complete the fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

\frac{7}{10} = 7 / 10 = 0.7

\frac{7}{10} as a decimal is 0.7.

3. To write a fraction as a percentage, we must first convert it into a decimal, the way we did in problem 2.

\frac{13}{20} =0.65

Then to change that number into a percentage, we can either multiply it by 100, or (my personal shortcut) just shift the decimal point over two places to the right.

0.65 = 65%

which is the answer to question 3.
\frac{13}{20} written as a percent is 65%.

4. Writing a percentage as a fraction is a bit easier than writing a fraction as a percentage. All you need to do is place the percentage in the numerator's place of a fraction with 100 as the denominator and simplify.

2%5 = \frac{25}{100}

Since 25 goes into 100 four times, we can simplify this fraction.

\frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4}

which is our answer.

25% written as a fraction is \frac{1}{4}.

5. This is the same as problem 3, so I won't show my work for the sake of time.

\frac{2}{5} as a percentage is 40%.

6. This is the same as problem 1, so I will not show steps again.

\frac{3}{20} as a decimal is 0.15.

7. Done similar problems in past. No work shown.

\frac{21}{50} as a percent is 42%.

8. Same as last problem.

\frac{1}{25} as a percent is 4%.

9. Same as number 4.

 6% as a fraction is \frac{3}{50}.

10. Similar in past.

\frac{3}{5} as a percentage is 60%.

11. Same as 6.

\frac{12}{25} as a decimal is 0.48.

12. Done a lot of these so far.

\frac{3}{10} as a percentage is 30%.

13. Just did one like this.

\frac{3}{4} as a percentage is 75%.

14. Same as 4 and 9.

65% as a fraction is \frac{13}{20}.

15. Plenty of these done in past.

\frac{1}{5} as a percentage is 20%.

16. Last problem, and it's just like the one just before this.

\frac{9}{10} written as a percent is 90%.

So there are the results.
Hope that helped! =)

Mark makes $60 for every six hour shift he works. How much will he make if he works an eight hour shift
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Mark will make $80 if he works an eight-hour shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every six hour shift he works, Mark makes $60

This implies that for every hour, he makes $10 ($60/6)

Therefore, for working an eight-hour shift, Mark will make $80 ($10 * 8) or ($60/6 * 8).

We can conclude that Mark's employer pays him $10 per hour.

This hourly rate can be used to work out how much Mark will earn if he works for a month or a year, as the case may be.

If AB=BC,AB=4=4x-2,andBC=3x+3,fine the length of AB
laila [671]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'm assuming AB=4=4x-2 was a typo and it's supposed to be AB = 4x - 2

AB=BC

AB = 4x - 2 BC = 3x + 3

4x - 2 = 3x + 3

Solve for x Add 2 to each side

4x - 2 = 3x + 3

4x - 2 + 2 = 3x + 3 + 2

4x = 3x + 5 Subtract 3x from each side.

4x - 3x = 3x- 3x + 5

4x - 3x = 5

x = 5

Now plug back in to the original equations

AB = 4x - 2                  BC = 3x + 3

AB = 4 (5) - 2               BC = 3(5) + 3

AB = 20 - 2                  BC = 15 + 3

AB = 18                        BC = 18

So AB is 18
