<span>The minute hand of a watch is 6 inches long. How far does the tip of the minute hand go in 15 minutes? How much do you move in 25 minutes?</span>
The known facts
- the sum of Natalie's age and Fred's age is 36
- the sum of Fred's age times four and Natalie's age is 72
Now, let's set up the equations where N is Natalie's age and F is Fred's age.
N + F = 36 ---- equation 1
N + 4F = 72 ---- equation 2
equation 2 minus equation 1 ---> 3F = 36 ---> F = 12, thus N = 24
Thus Fred is 12 years old, and Natalie is 24 years old.
Answer:
44.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of discount = (difference in prices / original price) x 100
Difference in price = $1299 - $725 = $574
Original price = $1299
($574 / $1299) x 100 = 44.187837%
the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
the hundredth figure is 8, which is greater than 5. 1 would be added to the tenth figure.
So it becomes 44.2%
