The right multiplier is 1.03. Because x*1.03=x*(1+.03)=x+.03x
And .03x is exactly 3% of x.

The multiplier would be 1.03. You are increasing the original amount, x, by 3% To increase a number by a certain percentage you take the percent it's being added times the number, and then add that to the original. So 100% of x + 3% of x = 1x + 0.03x = 1.03x. The original amount, x, is multiplied by 1.03, so 1.03 is the multiplier you would use.

Rewrite in simplest radical form square root of x times the fourth root of x. Show each step of your process.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$\sqrt[4] {x^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

At this point, we can transform the square root into a fourth root by squaring the argument, and bring into the other root:

$\sqrt x \cdot \sqrt[4] x =\sqrt [4] {x^2} \cdot \sqrt[4] x = \sqrt[4]{x^2\cdot x} = \sqrt[4] {x^3}$

Alternatively, if you're allowed to use rational exponents, we can convert everything:

$\sqrt x \cdot \sqrt[4] x = x^{\frac12} \cdot x^\frac14 = x^{\frac12 +\frac14}= x^{\frac24 +\frac14}= x^\frac34 = \sqrt[4] {x^3}$

After an office party, 4 1/3 pizzas are left. A day later, there are 1 5/6 pizzas left. How munch pizza was eaten during the day

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

15/6 pieces of pizza were eaten. Which is equivalent to 2.5. So 2.5 pizzas were eaten.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just did the math. Convert 4 1/3 to 0/6. So 1 times 2 is 2, and 3 times 2 is 6. Which would give you 4 2/6 which has the same denominator as 1 5/6.

Mr.Manciel is planning an event at a local hotel. The hotel owner told him that the dance floor in the ballroom is about 1,500 s

Yes it was reasonable. I say it is resonable because if you multiply 44 times 25 it is 1,100 so the estimate was close enough

There is 1.95 dollars in a piggy bank and it is made up of 27 coins which are dimes and nickels how many of each coin are there

scZoUnD [109]

If there are 15 nickels which is $0.75 and 12 dimes which is $1.20, then that would equal $1.95 and be 27 coins.
