Answer:

The answer to your question is 60.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ratio and proportion problem, so let's write the proportion.

                                  3  :  26  : :  7  :  x

1.- Convert the expression to a fractional form.

                                  \frac{3}{26} = \frac{7}{x}

2.- Solve the proportion, cross multiplying and back off.

                                 x = \frac{26 x 7}{3}

                                 x = \frac{182}{3}

                                 x = 60.7 km

Brandee makes an hourly wage. In the last pay period, she earned $800 for regular hours and $240 for overtime hours. Her overtim
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

  h = 13.333 +693.333/r

Step-by-step explanation:

For h hours, Brandee's pay will be ...

  pay = 40r +(h -40)(1.5r) . . . . 40 hours at rate r + overtime (h-40) hours at 1.5r

  pay = 40r +1.5hr -60r . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  pay = 1.5hr -20r . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

Solving for h, we have ...

  pay +20r = 1.5hr . . . . . . . . . . add 20r

  h = (pay +20r)/(1.5r) . . . . . . . . divide by 1.5r

For the given pay of 800 +240 = 1040, we have ...

  h = (1040 +20r)/(1.5r)

  h = 13.333 +693.333/r . . . . . simplify to 2 terms

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

You need to know r to find the number of hours Brandee worked. She got paid $800 for a presumed 40-hours of regular time, so made r = $20 per hour. The above formula will tell you she worked 48 hours in the pay period.

What is 84 seconds to 8 seconds
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

8 out of 84: 90% decrease

200 out of 238: 16% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a percent decrease, you first subtract the end number by the initial number. This gives you the change.

ex. 84-8=76

Now you divide the change by the initial number. You'll get a decimal.

ex. 76/84=0.904...

Multiply the decimal times 100, or move the decimal to the right twice.

ex. 0.904... -> 90.4...

Now round to the nearest ones place

ex. 90.4 -> 90%
