Answer: D. Smiley is too heavy for the bridge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statements:

If an elephant weighs more than 2,000 pounds, then it weighs more than Jill’s car. ......(statement (1))

If something weighs more than Jill’s car, then it is too heavy for the bridge. .............(statement (2))

Smiley the Elephant weighs 2,150 pounds.

Then by law of detachment (using statement (1)) we get the conclusion that "it weighs more than Jill’s car."

By law of syllogism, we have the conclusion using statement (2) that "Smiley is too heavy for the bridge."

To decrease an amount by 8 percent, what single multiplier would you use?

Alchen [17]

That's far more problems than I usually accept in a single question, but since you're new and obviously a beginner, I'll try to help.

To Increase an amount by 7% what single multiplier would you use 
We want 7% more than 100% of the amount, so the multiplier is 
(100% + 7%) = 107% = 1.07 
[Remember that "percent" means "per hundred," so we divide a percentage by 100 to get the numerical equivalent.] 

To Decrease an amount by 7% what single multiplier would you use 
We want 7% less than 100% this time, so the multiplier is 
(100% - 7%) = 93% = 0.93 

5 ÷ 0.1 
= 50 

(To One Decimal Place) (0.3 x 2.8)Squared 
[Notation: around here we usually write "squared" as ^2, where the ^ is an exponentiation sign.] 
(0.3 x 2.8)^2 = 0.84^2 = 0.7056 
which is 0.7 when rounded to one decimal place. 

6.38 + 4.52 ÷ 4.71 +9.53 
= 6.38 + (4.52 ÷ 4.71) + 9.53 [assuming operations in the usual order] 
= about 6.38 + 0.96 + 9.53 
= 16.87 

Expand and Simplify 
(x + 2)(x + 3) 
= x^2 + 2x + 3x + 6 
= x^2 + 5x + 6 

Expand and Simplify 
(x + 2)(x - 3) 
= x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 
= x^2 - x - 6 

x + 1 < 5 
x < 4 [subtracting 1 from both sides] 

Make n the subject of the formula.... M=3n 
3n = M

What letter is s in 8s=1/2

Tcecarenko [31]

We find the value for s here.

8s = 1/2
$8s = \frac{1}{2} 
 \\ 
8s/8 = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{8}{1} 

$

1/2 divided by 8/1 = 1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16

s = 1/16
