For this, no math is even needed! The question says 1,000 people were interviewed. 42% percent of that 1,000 owns an SUV. If it's a percent, it is 42/100, right? Now we have to make that 42/100 out of 1000. We add a zero to the 100 on the bottom (42/1000). We do the same thing on the top. Add a zero! 420.

SECOND POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Solve this with logic! 42% is nearly 50%. Half of 1,000 is 500. What is closest to 500? 420! This solution is even easier.

Hope this helps you!

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of rectangular banner = 18 ft

Total trim of banner available = 48 ft

To find:

Possible widths of the banner = ?

Solution:

Maximum trim available of the banner around the entire border of the banner = 48 ft

i.e. we are given the total perimeter of the rectangular banner.

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

$Perimeter = 2 \times (Length + Width)$

Putting the values of perimeter and length to find the value of width.

$48 = 2 \times (18 + Width)\\\Rightarrow 48 =36+2 \times Width\\\Rightarrow 2 \times Width = 48-36\\\Rightarrow 2 \times Width = 12\\\Rightarrow \bold{Width = 6\ ft}$

So, width possible is 6ft.

I have 1 hundreds, 4 ones, 2 tens, and 1 tenths. What number am I?

DaniilM [7]

Since it reads 1 hundreds, that means 100. 4 ones mean 4 * 1, which is 4. 2 tens means 2 * 10, which is 20. Add those together and you get 124. Where it reads "1 tenth", that means 0.1
Therefore, the number is 124.1
