Divide them on a calculator
Answer:
37.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
one day has 24 hours
100%->24
1%->0.24
9÷0.24 = 37.5%
To determine the answer, we need to express the fractions into its decimal counterparts. 3/5 is equal to 0.6 therefore it is closest to 0.5 while 1/10 is equal to 0.1 therefore it is the last option. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is good! The length of the metal is 20 inches longer than the width. But we fold up 4-inch flaps on each side, so the height of the box is 4 inches, and the length and width will each decrease by 8 inches (4 inches on each side). Since the length and width decrease by the same amount, the length will still be 20 inches longer than the width. So the equations would be:
l = w + 20
vol = l x w x h = 1716 in3
1716 = (w + 20)(w)(4)
1716 = 4w2 + 80w
4w2 + 80w - 1716 = 0
4(w2 + 20w - 429) = 0
4(w + 33)(w - 13) = 0
w + 33 = 0, so w = -33
w - 13 = 0, so w = 13
Since the width can't be negative, the width of the box is 13 and the length is 33 (13 + 20).
But remember, the length and width of the piece of metal are each 8 inches longer than the box, so it was 41 inches by 21 inches.
