Answer:

five and eight hundredths

Step-by-step explanation:

I was taught to reserve the word "and" to mark the decimal point when the number has a fraction. The integer part is "five." The fractional part is "eight hundredths." Together, the word form might be ...

five and eight hundredths.

If I were reading this to someone, including myself, I might say it as ...

"five point oh eight".

_____

<em>Comment on ambiguity</em>

The reason for being particular about marking the decimal point is so you don't get into trouble with something like ...

1000.13 . . . . . one-thousand and thirteen hundredths

which is different from ...

1013/100 . . . . one-thousand thirteen hundredths

Some folks will pronounce 1013 as "one-thousand and thirteen." Doing so will get you in trouble in the above situation, where you have 1013/100.

In a film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. He wittily

yanalaym [24]

Answer:the uncle is 54 years old.

The woman is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of the uncle.

Let y represent the age of the woman that he married.

In the film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. This means that

x = 3y

He wittily replies, "Ah, but in 18 years time I shall only be twice her age. It means that

x + 18 = 2(y + 18)

x + 18 = 2y + 36 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

3y + 18 = 2y + 36

3y - 2y = 36 - 18

y = 18

x = 3y = 3 × 18

x = 54

The revenue, in dollars. of a company that produces video game systems can be modeled by the expression 52 +

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

1). Profit = 3x - 180

2) Profit of selling 1000 video games = $2820

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for the revenue = 5x² + 2x - 80

Expression for the production cost of the video games = 5x² - x + 100

Since, profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost,

Expression for the profit will be,

Profit = Revenue - Cost

= (5x² + 2x - 80) - (5x² - x + 100)

= 5x² + 2x - 80 - 5x² + x - 100

= 3x - 180

Here, x = Number of video games sold

If number of video games sold = 1000

Profit = (3×1000) - 180

= 3000 - 180

= $2820

The country recreation department cleared a 3/4 mile long walking trail in Washington Park. There will be a small sign every 1/1

dem82 [27]

We are given " The country recreation department cleared a 3/4 mile long walking trail in Washington Park."

Therefore total distance = 3/4 miles.

"There will be a small sign every 1/12 mile along the trail, including at the beginning and end of the trail. "

Distance of small sign = 1/12 mile.

We need to find the number of signs in 3/4 miles each of 1/12 miles.

<em>In order to find the number of signs, we need to divide total distance by distance of a small sign.</em>

3/4 ÷ 1/12

= 3/4 × 12/1 = 3 × 3

= 9 signs.

<h3>Therefore, 9 signs are needed.</h3>
