0.8 is greater than 0.08, the reason for that is that 0.8 is equal to 8/10=80/100 and 0.08 is equal to 8/100. As a percentage, 0.8 would be 80% and 0.08 would be equal to 8%.

a specific shade of green glaze requires 5 parts blue to 3 parts yellow. a glaze mixture contains 25 quarts of blue and 9 quarts

-BARSIC- [3]

if you are multiplying by 5, then the blue needs to be 25 quarts and the yellow needs to be 15 quarts not 9. If you are multiplying by 3 then it would be 9 quarts yellow and 15 quarts blue. hope this helps :)

-----.135as a fraction

Mrac [35]

This has to do with place value.
0.135.....the last digit (5) is in the thousandths place....so put it over 1000.
135/1000 reduces to 27/200

Miguel invests money in an account paying simple interest. He invests $170 and no money is added or removed from the investment.

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$185.30\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$170\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 185.30=170[1+(\frac{r}{100})(1)]\implies \cfrac{185.30}{170}=1+\cfrac{r}{100}\implies \cfrac{109}{100}=\cfrac{100+r}{100} \\\\\\ 109=100+r\implies \stackrel{\%}{9}=r$
