Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ill try to break this down, simply:
When we talk about percentages we are talking about how much part of something we have and the percent sign is a just a symbol representing that.
Lets say we have 2 out of 10 apples and we need to convert this to a percentage
First think about how many apples we have in total... and that would be 10, and then how many apples we currently have being 2:
So if we put the part that we have over the whole thing we get:
![\frac{2}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B10%7D)
So now lets turn this into a decimal, when its something over 10 its really easy, all we have to do is move the decimal back one place!
So we have 2 and if we move the decimal back one place we get .2 or 0.2
Now we have our decimal, to convert this into a percentage all we have to do is multiply our decimal by 100
So:
0.2 x 100 = 20%
All you do when you multiply by 100 is move the decimal back over 2 places one place for each zero so:
0.2 --> 2. --> 20.
Which gives us again 20%
Answer:
simplified in the exact form: 8/3
simplified in decimal form: 2.6
simplified in mixed number form: 2 2/3
Answer:
.125
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cube is found by
V = s^3 where s is the side length
V = .5 ^3
V =.125 m^3
4x-2+1=3x+5
Subtract 3x from both sides
x-2+1=5
Same as
x-1=5
Add 1 to both sides
x=6
