Please forgive me if i'm wrong. I have two different way to go this. They both are different answer.

First Solution:

How much money I have: $13.32

How much it cost: 3/5 = 75%

I had learned something at school called (is, of equal percent).

$is 
\frac {x}{13.32} = \frac{75}{100} 
percent

of$

How to solve:
when do the first hundred, cross out the $\frac{100x}{100}$ and bring the one-hundred down then divide your new numerator and denominator.

$\frac{100x}{100} = \frac{999}{100}$ = $9.99

Answer ; $9.99

Second Solution:

I also learned something call (the double number line).

Dollar 13.32 26.64 39.96 ________
Cost 1___ 2____ 3______

Answer: $39.96

The best thing to do is to find out what 1/5 is equal to, and you can do this by dividing $13.32 by 3
13.32/3= 4.44
Therefore, 1/5 = $4.44
As you're looking for the total amount, you multiply this by 5.
$4.44*5= $22.20
Therefore, the present cost $22.20
Hope this helps :)

Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 5 counters in total. 3 white and 2 black.

So we know that 3 out of 5 are white and 2 out of 5 are black.

Therefore the chance to get white is 3/5. And for black: 2/5.

We can turn these into decimals, 3/5 = 0.6 (You can make it 6/10 to make it easier.)

And 2/5 = 0.4 (You can make it 4/10 to make it easier.)

Answering the question, you should put your cross/marker on 0.6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are decreasing the number so it has to be a decrease.

Next, we divide 7/31 and get around 0.23, which also represents 23 percent.

This only shows that 7 is 23 percent of 31, so we need to find the decrease by seeing the difference of 100 and 23.

We get 100 - 23 = 77, and because it is a decrease we get B.

1/6 of 3 yards=______feet I know I just ask one but u get 17 points so plz help I'm stuck

bulgar [2K]

In this question, first we have to see how many feets are in 1 yard .

And there are 3 feets in 1 yard.

So in 3 yards, there are 9 feets

Therefore we will get

$\frac{1}{6}*3 yards= \frac{1}{6} * 9 feet = 1.5 feet$

Therefore the answer of the given question is 1.5 feet.

Radioactive Waste The rate at which radioactive waste is entering the atmosphere at time t is decreasing and is given by Pe^-kt,

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle{\int^{\infty}_0 {50e^{-0.04t}}\, dt}=1250$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$T =\displaystyle{\int^{\infty}_0 {Pe^{-kt}} \, dt}$

where,

T = total amount of waste

P = 50, the initial rate

k = 0.04

t = time

$T =\displaystyle{\int^{\infty}_0 {50e^{-0.04t}} \, dt}$

now we need to solve this integral!

$T =\displaystyle{50\int^{\infty}_0 {e^{-0.04t}} \, dt}$

$T = \left|50\left(\dfrac{e^{-0.04t}}{-0.04}\right)\right|^{\infty}_0$

$T = \left|-1250e^{-0.04t}\right|^{\infty}_0$

$T = (-1250e^{-0.04(\infty)})-(-1250e^{-0.04(0)})$

when any number has a power of negative infinity it is 0. because: $a^-{\infty} = \dfrac{1}{a^{\infty}} = \dfrac{1}{\infty} = 0$ , like something being divided by a very large number!

$T = (-1250(0))-(-1250e^0)$

$T = 1250$

this is the total amount of waste
