Which is bigger: 17.5% or 1/6

In order to find this out, let's convert both of them into percents. Since 17.5 is already a percent, we only have to convert 1/6 into a percent. To convert 1/6 into a percent, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator. If you do that, you will get 0.1666..... as a repeating decimal. Now, multiply the decimal by 100 or just move the decimal 2 spaces to the right to get the percent. If you do that, you will get 16.6%. Since it is a repeating decimal, you can round it to 16.7%. So, 17.5% is larger than 1/6.

Hope it helps :)

Well if you plug 1/6 into the calculator it gives you the value of 0.166666667.
Then to make it a percentage you multiply it by 100
16.7% to 1 decimal place like the question

17.5% > 16.7%
Hence, 17.5% is bigger than 1/6

1. Match the letter of the centre to the lines that define it.

Answer:

A. (Orthocenter) → Altitude

B. (Incenter) → Angle bisector

C. (Centroid) → Median

D. (Circumcenter) → Perpendicular bisector

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The orthocenter is the point of concurrency of the three altitudes of a triangle, therefore, the matching line with the letter A is altitude

B. The incenter is the point of concurrency of the bisectors of three interior angles of a triangle, therefore, the matching line with the letter B is angle bisector

C. The centroid is the point of concurrency of the three medians of the triangle, therefore, the matching line to the letter C is median

D. The circumcenter is the point of concurrency of the three perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of a triangle, therefore, the matching line to the letter D (which corresponds with the circumcenter) is perpendicular bisector.

Is 15 over 50 equivalent to 0.3

$Yes,\ because\\\\\frac{15}{50}=\frac{15:5}{50:5}=\frac{3}{10}=\boxed{0.3}$
