Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving
$62..50 

Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. 
Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!

Problem 11) Start with set U = {1,2,3,4,5} and cross off 1,2,3 to be left with A' = {4,5}. We basically erase everything found in set A. You have the correct answer. Nice job.

Problem 12) Start with U = {1,2,3,4,5} and erase '5' to be left with {1,2,3,4}. So B' = {1,2,3,4}. You are correct here as well.

I can't help with the other problems since either letters, numbers or symbols are missing. Please make a new post and provide those updates.

First, Joe started the water and it was at full force. He filled it up to 9 inches. It took him 2 minutes to get to 9 inches. Then, he stopped it for 2 minutes because his mom called him to get a bar of soap. The water level was still at 9 inches when he stopped it. Then, he put the water to come down slowly because he wasn’t sure how much more he needed. He let the water go for 2 minutes. Then, he stopped the water when it was at 12 inches of water. He sat in the bath for 5 minutes until he decided he was to cold so he hopped out. The water then drained really fast. From 12 inches to 0 inches it took the bath 3 minutes.

A football team loses 5 yards on each of 3 consecutive plays. What signed number represents the team's total loss of yards on th

mario62 [17]

Answer:

change below :)

Step-by-step explanation:

You would start out at in the middle of a number line (horizontal). After the first play, you would move to the left on the line 5 spots (to simulate 5 yards lost) and then make a dot to show your new position. You would do the same thing for the next two plays, moving 5 spots to the left each play and creating a new starting point each time. The total spots moved after the 3 plays is 15 spots to the left.
