Please explain to me how 3.2÷4=0.8 is done

To make it easier just assume there is no decimal point then just work out the 32÷4 where we know that 4 goes into 32 8 times so you get 8 remember the decimal point and since it was one decimal place you will push the decimal over to the left of 8 and that is how you get 0.8

So the idea with literal equations is to get one variable in terms of all the rest.  In this equation, we are trying to solve for x in terms of y (meaning that we are trying to get x all by itself with y on the other side of the equal sign).  Whenever you have a single fraction by itself on one side of an equal sign, the first thing that I always do is cross multiply.  This gets rid of the fraction completely and makes everything look a little nicer:

y * (5-4x) = 1 * (2x+3)

Distribute on the left side:

5y-4xy = 2x+3

Move the x's all to the same side.  I'm doing this by subtracting 2x from both sides:

5y-4xy - 2x = 3

For simplicity's sake, move 5y to the right side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:

-4xy - 2x = 3 - 5y

Factor out the x on the left side:

x (-4y-2) = 3 - 5y

Get the x term by itself on the left side by dividing both sides by -4y-2.

x = (3-5y)/(-4y-2)

 

And there you have it!  I hope that this helped a little.  Good luck!

9. To stitch a shirt, 2 m 15 cm cloth is needed. Out of 40 m cloth, how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will rema
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

1 Shirt and 185cm remaining cloth

Step-by-step explanation:

2m and 15cm = 215cm

40m = 400cm

400/215=1.860465116

A shirt cant be in decimal so we remove the decimals, and take the as the answer. For the decimals, they are the remaining cloth.. to calculate the amount of remaining cloth we do:

1.860465116-1

=860465116

215*860465116=185cm

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Each month is equally likely

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for a recent​ year, the following are the numbers of homicides that occurred each month in New York​ City:

38,​ 30, 46,​ 40, 46,​ 49, 47,​ 50, 50,​ 42, 37, 37.

We have to check whether it is equally likely for each of the 12 months

Set Hypotheses as

H0: All months are equally likely

Ha: atleast two months are not equally likely

(Two tailed chisquare test at 5% significance level)

This is a test for chi square goodness of fit and so assuming H0 to be true

we divide the total equaly among 12 months as expected

              Observed Expected  Chi square

Jan                    38     42.66666667  0.510416667

Feb                    30     42.66666667  3.760416667

Mar                    46     42.66666667  0.260416667

Apr                   40    42.66666667  0.166666667

May                   46    42.66666667  0.260416667

June           49    42.66666667  0.940104167

July                   47    42.66666667  0.440104167

Aug                  50    42.66666667  1.260416667

Sep                  50    42.66666667  1.260416667

Oct                  42    42.66666667  0.010416667

Nov                  37    42.66666667  0.752604167

Dec                  37    42.66666667  0.752604167

Total        512     512                 10.375

df=11

p value = 0.497

Since p >0.05 our alpha we accept H0

Each month is equally likely

A bowl of fruit contains only strawberries and grapes. For every 2 strawberries in a bowl there are 5 grapes.
sdas [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

S \to Strawberry

G \to Grape

The given parameter can be represented as:

S : G = 2 : 5

Required

The question is incomplete as what is required is not stated.

Possible questions could be to determine the number of strawberries given a certain number of grapes, and vice versa

Take for instance

Calculate the number of grapes when there are 20 strawberries

We have:

S : G = 2 : 5

This becomes

20 : G = 2 : 5

Express as fraction

\frac{20}{ G} = \frac{2 }{5}

Make G the subject

G = 20 * \frac{5}{2}

G = 10 * 5

G = 50

<em>i.e. 50 grapes</em>

<em>Apply the same method given a certain number of grapes</em>

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

<h3>1952.00</h3><h3>I=976</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>SIMPLE INTEREST FORMULA:</em></u>

I- Interest

P- Principal

R- Rate

T-Time

P=976

R=25

T=4 years

976*25%4

25%=0.25

Solve.

Multiply.

976*0.25*4

976*0.25*4=976

I=976

976 and $1952.00, which is our answer.
