Answer:
11.7
Step-by-step explanation:
=11.7
First, we have to find how many times 10 goes into 15.
We can divide 15 by 10, and we will see that 10 goes into 15 1 whole time, with 5/10 left over.
Now, we can simplify!
In order to simplify, we have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 5 and 10. Let's list out the factors (the numbers that can be divided into 5 and 10)
1*5
1*10
2*5
The largest factor, as we can see, is 5! Let's dicide 5/10 by 5.
5/5=1
10/5=2
So, 5/10 simplifies to 1/2, and, if we bring down the whole number we found before, 15/10 is equal to 1 and 1/2! :)
We can check this answer by multiplying the whole number, 1, by the denominator, (the bottom number of a fraction) 2, and adding the numerator, (the top number of a fraction), 1.
1*2=2
2+1=3
Keep the denominator as 2.
The improper fraction is 3/2, which is equivalent to 15/10 (multiply 3/2 by 5 to see)!
So, our answer is 1 1/2.
I hope I helped! :)
Answer:
131
Step-by-step explanation:
Using proportion,
If Out of 550 calculators = 6 are defective,
Then out of 12000 calculators = ? are defective
= 21.8 * 6
= 130.8 ≈ 131
∴ Approximately 131 calculators are defective
