Just asking, what book is it?
25% is the same is 1/4 of something. So you have to find what 1/4th of 48 is. To do that, just divide 48 by 4. and you get 12.
A 25% payment on a CD player that costs $48 would be $12. Hope that helps!
Answer:
a ratio is a comparison of two numbers or measurements
the objects being compared are called the terms of the ratio.
if the tow terms are different units this is called a rate.
example:
David covers 600 miles in 8 hours and John covers 380 miles in 5 hours. Who is driving faster ?
solution:
Distance covered by David in 1 hour is
= 600 / 8
= 75 miles per hour
Distance covered by John in 1 hour is
= 380 / 5
= 76 miles per hour
When we compare the above unit rates (Distance covered in 1 hour), John is driving faster than David.
Answer:
SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4
The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg: c = a + 8
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2
a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64
a2 - 8a - 48 = 0
Factors to:
(a-12)(a+4) = 0
a = 12, -4
Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12
Shorter Leg = 12 inches
Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches
Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches
