We need to convert the decimal 0.5 to a fraction in the simplest form.

0.1 is one tenth
0.01 is one hundredths

So 0.05 is 5 hundredths
One hundredths is one out of a hundred or
\frac{1}{100}
So 5 of one hundredths is
\frac{1}{100}  \times 5 =  \frac{5}{100}
The fraction isn't simplified however
So we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator, 5 and 100, to simplify the fraction.
The GCF of 5 and 100 is 5.

So divide both the numerator and denominator by 5 to find the fraction in simplest form
\frac{5 \div 5}{100 \div 5}  =  \frac{1}{20}
This is 0.05 as a fraction in simplest form.

0.05 = 5% = 5/100

Simplify 5/100 and you get 1/20.


Hope this helps & good luck. :)

A company is making building blocks. Each building block is a cube and has volume 125/729 ft cubed . How long is each side of th
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The length of each side of the building block is 0.56 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A company is making building blocks. Each building block is a cube and has volume 125/729 ft cubed . Each of the building blocks has 6 faces which are squares, 8 vertices and 12 edges.

Since a square has all sides to be equal sides,

The volume of the cube = the volume of the building block =

Product of length,L, width, W and height, H.

Volume of the building block = L × W × H

Since length = width = height,

Volume of cube = L^3

From the information given,

Volume of a building block = 125/729ft cubed

L^3 = 125 / 729

Taking cube root of both sides of the equation,

L = cube root of 125/729

L = 5/9

= 0.56 feet

Rudiy27
Since there is no picture shown, I just plotted the given data points myself. That is shown in the attached picture. The blue rectangle is rectangle PQRS while the orange one is rectangle JKLM. I believe there are some choices for this question but you forgot to include. Nevertheless, I will give my observations from the given figure. 

The tile PQRS is bigger than tile JKLM. A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape that has two sets of equal parallel planes. Thus, its area is equal to the length multiplied by its width.

tile PQRS = (9-5)*(12-7) = 20 units²
tile JKLM = (6-4)*(10-5) = 10 units²

Tile PQRS is larger by 10 units².
