Answer:

  centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator of the conversion factor always has the "to" units. The denominator has the "from" units. That way, when you multiply, the "from" units cancel:

  (xx <em>from</em>) · (yy <em>to</em>)/(zz <em>from</em>) = xx·yy/zz · (<em>from/from</em>) · <em>to</em> = xx·yy/zz · <em>to</em>

Here, you want to convert to centimeters, so centimeters will be the units in the numerator.

  10 in · (2.54 cm)/(1 in) = 25.4 cm

_____

The conversion factor is always "1". That is, the numerator and denominator are always <u>equal</u> in value. Here, 2.54 cm = 1 in, so (2.54 cm)/(1 in) = 1. You can multiply by 1 anytime you like. For units conversion, it only has the effect of changing the units.

Somebody please help me with this !!!
Damm [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1 :

3x + 2y = 6 \\ 4x + y = 2 \\ 3x = 6 - 2y \\ x =  \frac{6 - 2y}{3}  = \\ x = 2 -  \frac{2y}{3}  \\ 4(2 -  \frac{2y}{3} ) + y = 2 \\ 8 -  \frac{8y}{3}  + y = 2 \\  - 1.67y =  - 6 \\

y = 3.59 \\ x = 2 -  \frac{2y}{3}  \\x =  2 -  \frac{2 \times 3.59}{3}  \\  \\ x =  - 0.39

Case 2 :

3x + 2y = 6 \\ 4x  -  y = 2 \\ x = 2 -  \frac{2y}{3}  \\ 4(2 -  \frac{2y}{3} ) - y = 2 \\ 8 -  \frac{8y}{3}  - y = 2 \\   - 3.67y=  - 6 \\ y = 1.63

x = 2 -  \frac{2y}{3}  \\ x = 2 -  \frac{2 \times 1.63}{3}  \\ x = 2 - 1.087 \\ x = 0.913

Write a proportion for 56% of a number is 244
Misha Larkins [42]
\frac{56}{100} =  \frac{244}{x} So, You cross multiply and get 56x=244(100). Simplify and you get 56x=24400. Divide each side by 56 and you get 435.71. 56% of about 435.71 is 244.
