Answer:

To calculate 16.8 ÷ 0.35 without a calculator, let's first move the decimal of both values 2 places to the right.

We now have 1680.00 ÷ 35.00

Therefore we have:

____48.00

35✓1680.00

___-140

_________

___280

___-280

________

____0

Let's now move 2 decimal places to the left.

Thus, 16.8÷0.35 = 48.00

b) The standard procedure:

You move the decimal places in both values 2 places to the right to make them whole numbers.

After dividing, the decimal place of the answer is then moved back 2 places to the left.

c) (i) Let's consider we multiply both values by 100.

\frac{16.8*100}{0.35*100}

= \frac{1680}{35}

= 1680÷35

We can see that the decimal we moved 2 places to the right is correct.

ii) We can express the values in dollars as $16.8÷ $0.35

We can also express in cents as (16.8*100) 1680 cents and (0.35*100) 35 cents.

Expressing as cents, the values become:

1680 ÷ 35.

Thus, moving the decimal two places to the right is correct

Answer:

a 48

b place value system

c

  • it is valid because it helps in getting the correct answer
  • it is valid because it helps in knowing the real position of the decimal point

Step-by-step explanation:

use long division method

16.8 by 0.35

we move the decimal places to place to right

it becomes 1680 divided by 35

           48

35  l 1680

      - 140

            280

         -  280

             0000

the standard procedure for deter-mining where to put the decimal point in the answer to 16.8 , 0.35 is the use of place value system

    16.8  move the decimal point two places two places to the right that is 1680

and 0.35 move the decimal point two places to the right that is 35

  • it is valid because it helps in getting the correct answer
  • it is valid because it helps in knowing the real position of the decimal point

The width of a rectangular rug is 6 feet if the perimeter is 24 feet what is the area of the rug?
babymother [125]

Answer:

36 feet squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the perimeter of an object is adding all of the sides together. If the width of the rug is 6 feet then we know that there are two sides that length. Add those together.

6 feet + 6 feet = 12 feet

You would subtract the number you get from the perimeter.

24 feet - 12 feet = 12 feet

And then divide the number by the number of sides left, 2, to get each of their lengths.

12 feet / 2 feet = 6 feet

To find the area of a rectangle you multiply length times width, which in this case both are 6 feets.

6 feet x 6 feet = 36 feet squared

If the parallelogram floor needs a base of 16 feet,what will the height of the floor be
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete because the area of the parallelogram is missing. However, the following will guide you in answering the question</em>

Given

Base = 16\ ft

Required

Determine the Height

Area of a Parallelogram is:

Area = Base * Height

Make Height the subject

Height = \frac{Area}{Base}

Substitute 16 for Base

Height = \frac{Area}{16}

This implies that you divide the value of area by 16 to get the height of the parallelogram.

Take for instance;

Area = 64ft\²

The height would be

Height = \frac{64}{16}

Height = 4\ ft

Or

Area = 80ft\²

The height would be

Height = \frac{80}{16}

Height = 5\ ft

What changes occurred in the United States as a result of the cotton gin?
Jlenok [28]
While it was true that the cotton gin reduced the labor of removing seeds, it did not reduce the need for slaves to grow and pick the cotton. In fact, the opposite occurred. Cotton growing became so profitable for the planters that it greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor
