<span>0.03 x 1,000=30! In multiplying decimals, you'll move the decimal's period to the number of zeroes in the multiplier! 1,000 has 3 zeroes. So, it's equal to 30. So basically he was wrong because 0.03 times 1,000 doesn't equal 3 it equals 30. He made the mistake of not moving the decimal point enough.</span>

Jaime has 8/10 of a candy bar left over. He wants to split it into 1/3 pieces.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

2 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify how many pieces he can split with 8/10 of a candy bar, divide 8/10 by 1/3.

<u>Divide 8/10 by 1/3:</u>

$\frac{8}{10} / \frac{1}{3}=$

<u>Find the Ricipricol, then flip the sign:</u>

$\frac{8}{10} (\frac{3}{1} )=$

<u>Multiply:</u>

<u /> $\frac{8}{10} (\frac{3}{1})=\frac{24}{10} =\frac{2.4}{1}$

2.4 represents how many pieces of chocolate he can make with 8/10 of a candy bar.

However, 2.4 pieces can't be made, therefore he can only make 2 <u>full</u> pieces.

0.6(4-2x)=20.5-(3x+10)

solong [7]

The solution of 0.6(4-2x)=20.5-(3x+10) is x = 4.5

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, expression is 0.6 ( 4 – 2x ) = 20.5 – ( 3x + 10 )

We have to solve the above given equation for x.

Now, take the equation

$\rightarrow 0.6(4-2 x)=20.5-(3 x+10)$

We have to use BODMAS rule. BODMAS means sequence of operations which is brackets, order, division, multiplication, addition and then subtraction

On solving the brackets, we get

$\rightarrow 0.6 \times 4-0.6 \times 2 x=20.5-3 x-10$

Now multiplication is given preference

$\rightarrow 2.4-1.2 x=10.5-3 x$

$\rightarrow 3 x-1.2 x=10.5-2.4$

Now subtraction is done

$\rightarrow 1.8 \mathrm{x}=8.1$

Now division is performed

$\rightarrow x=\frac{8.1}{1.8}=4.5$

Hence, the value of x is 4.5

2.5m to 150 cm <br>express these ratios in its simplest form.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The ratios in the simplest form is 5:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

2.5m to 150cm

We have to express these ratios in simplest form but we will convert the quantities into same unit first.

Therefore,

Converting meters into centimeters

1 meter = 100 cm

2.5 m = 100*2.5 = 250 cm

Ratio form;

250 cm : 150 cm

As both the number are multiples of 50,

$\frac{250}{50}:\frac{150}{50}\\5:3$

Hence,

The ratios in the simplest form is 5:3
