Explain why percents are rational numbers.

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Yes since percents can be decimals and these decimals can be illustrated as fractions hence, vice-versa.

80%= 0.8 = 4/5

A rational number is any number or numerical value which can be possibly stated in a fraction form of numbers, it basically has a numerator and denominator. Furthermore, the values of the numerator and denominator is integers and doesn’t equal to 0. In this given case of 8 over 5 or 8/5 this fractional number can still be expressed in a standard numerical form with a decimal as 1.6 without repeating decimal values. Unlike irrational numbers which is not possible, take for instance 3.1416… and so on which cannot be “fractionized”.<span>

Check all of the steps that would be used to solve this equation: 2(x-5)=24

aliya0001 [1]

X=17

Distribute 2(x-5)
You are left with 2x-10=24
You then want to get 2x by itself so add 10 on both sides so that you get 2x=34
Isolate x completely by dividing by 2 on both sides which then leaves you with x=17

The initial population of a town is 3600, and it grows with a doubling time of 10 years. What will the population be in 8 year

shutvik [7]

If is doubles in 10 years, then you should divide 2 by 10 to get the yearly growth rate equaling 1/5. Multiply 1/5 by 8 equals 8/5= 1 3/5. multiply that number by 3600, giving you 5,760.

Answer:

D-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use elimination to get the value of y. Move numbers to one side and x and ys to the other side. To use elimination, multiply the first equation with 2. You will get 2x+2y=24. add it with the equation below. y will be eliminated and you will get the value of x. X=10. Plug in x and get the y value. Y=2
