Rename 4/7 as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

enyata [817]

Answer:

Part 1) Option C. 57.1%

Part 2) Option B. 70.9%

Part 3) Option C. 66 2/3 %

Part 4) Option A. About 16

Part 5) Option A. About $12

Part 6) Option B. About $9

Part 7) Option B. x/50=70/100

Part 8) Option B. 25%

Part 9) Option D. 800

Part 10) $1,770

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Rename 4/7 as a percent

we know that

To rename a number as a percent, multiply the number by 100

so

(4/7)*100=400/7=57.1%

Part 2) Rename .709 as a percent

we know that

To rename a number as a percent, multiply the number by 100

so

0.709*100=70.9%

Part 3) If 1/3 is equivalent to 33 1/3% what percent is equivalent to 2/3?

we know that

33 1/3%=(33*3+1)/3 %=100/3 %

By proportion

(100/3 %)/(1/3)=x/(2/3)

x=200/3 %=66 2/3 %

Part 4) Alice plays basketball. In one game she shoots 21 free throws and makes 81.25% of them. Estimate how many she makes

To find the exact value multiply the total shoots by the percentage

21*(81.25/100)=17.06

so

To find the estimate value

21 shoots is about 20

81.25% is about 80%

so

20*(80/100)=16

the answer is about 16

Part 5) Estimate 48% of 23.95

To find the exact value multiply the number by the percentage

23.95*(48/100)=11.50

To find the estimate value

23.95 is about 24

48% is about 50%

so

24*(50/100)=12

Part 6) The bill at a restraint is $58.50 and Mrs. Johnson wants to leave a 15% tip. Approximately how much money

To find the exact value multiply the bill by the percentage

so

$58.50*(15/100)=$8.78

To find the approximate value

$58.50 is about $60

$60*(15/100)=$9

Part 7) Which proportion can be used to solve the following percent problem? What is 50% if 100% is 70?

using proportion

x/50=70/100

x=70*50/100

x=35

Part 8) What percent of 50 is 12.5?

using proportion

50/100%=12.5/x%

x=100*12.5/50

x=25%

Part 9) 50 Is 6.25% of what number?

using proportion

50/6.25%=x/100%

x=100*50/6.25

x=800

Part 10) Chris works at Higgins’ Automart and is selling a new Shelby Mustang for $59,000. If he earns a commission of 3%, how much money does he earn?

we know that

$59,000 ------> represent the 100%

using proportion

Find how much money represent 3% of the commission

59,000/100%=x/3%

so

X=$59,000*(3/100)=$1,770

Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5

zaharov [31]

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}$ or $\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}$

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

$\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}$

Therefore, the solution is 31.

__________________________________________________________

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as $\displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n}$ meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:

$\displaystyle \large{r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}}$

Once knowing which sequence or series is it, apply an appropriate formula for the series. For geometric series, apply the following three formulas:

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}$

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio not equal to 1.

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=a_1 \cdot n}$

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio exactly equal to 1.

a square with an area of 144 cm² is reduced by a factor of 1/3 how long are the new sides of the square?

olga55 [171]

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 144 is 12 (12 x 12 = 144) so we know our sides of the square are 12 cm²

12 / 3 = 4

( $\frac{12}{1} x \frac{1}{3}$ )

The sides of the new square are 4 :)

Hope this helps and is correct, have a nice day! :D

Pete and his sister, Sophie, play the game Space Mission Commander on their video game console. Pete has already completed 27 mi

kondor19780726 [428]

Step-by-step explanation:

Pete has already completed 27 missions. Pete plans to complete 3 missions per week

Let x represents weeks

Games completed = 3x + 27

Sophie has only completed 13 missions. Sophie plans to complete 5 missions per week.

Games completed = 5x + 13

3x + 27 = 5x + 13

27 - 13 = 5x - 3x

2x = 14

x = 7

By the seventh week, they would have completed equal number of games,
