Answer:
Tara's current expression finds how much the school will be keeping. 50 x 2/5 (also written as 50 x 0.4) totals out as 20. $20 is 2/5 of $50. The expression that Tara SHOULD have written to find how much goes to the candle company would be 50 x 3/5 (also written as 50 x 0.6), as this adds up to 30. $30 is 3/5 of $50.
Step-by-step explanation:
50/5 = 10 which means that 1/5 of 50 = 10.
2/5 of 50 ($20) is kept by the school. This is what Tara's expression finds. This means that $30 is sent to the candle company, and can be found with the expression 50 x 3/5.
The decimals are created by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (I find it easier to do math with decimals).
The digit 2 is in the ten thousands place

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1000 mL = 1 L
0.85 L = (0.85 L)*(1000 mL/1 L) = (0.85*1000) mL = 850 mL
So, 0.85 liters is equivalent to 850 milliliters
