Answer:

Douglas is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

We can remove a zero from a number that has a zero on the right of the decimal place if that zero is the last number before the decimal place. This is true for 240 divided by 10 because the zeros cancel out:

=240/10=24

In 59.20 this is not true. Dividing a number with a decimal place requires the decimal place to move and not cancel out the zero after the decimal place. Therefore:

=59.20/10=5.92

A trader sold a radio set for 72.00 making a profit of 8% .Find , correct to the nearest ghana cedis ,the cost price for the rad
VMariaS [17]

Given:

The selling price of a ratio set = 72.00

Profit percent = 8%

To find:

The cost price for the radio set.

Solution:

Let x be the cost price for the radio set.

Radio set is sold at 8% profit.

\text{Selling price}=x+\dfrac{8}{100}x

\text{Selling price}=x+0.08x

\text{Selling price}=1.08x

The selling price of a ratio set is 72.00.

72=1.08x

\dfrac{72}{1.08}=x

x=66.666...

x\approx 67

Therefore, the cost price for the radio set is 67.

PLEASE HELP ME W THIS QUESTION
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

J

Step-by-step explanation:

If the side of the shape is increased by 3/2 then the total distance around the shape will be 3/2 bigger.

Example: If the pentagon has side length 2 then it becomes 2*3/2 = 6/2 = 3.

The original perimeter was 2+2+2+2+2 = 10.

The new perimeter is 3+3+3+3+3 = 15.

Did you notice that \frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2}? J is correct.

Elena bought a backpacking tent to take with her on hiking trips.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Question 1 = c) Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2 = d) 46.7 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

We would be solving this question by finding the surface area of the tent. The shape of the tent is a square based pyramid.

The surface area of a square based pyramid(tent) =

a² + 2ah

Where in the diagram,

a = base length = 4 ft

h = height of the pyramid (tent ) = 9ft

Surface area = 4² + 2 × 4 × 9

= 16 + 72

= 88ft²

Therefore, the size tarp should she purchase is Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2

For question 2, from the attached diagram, we can see that the diagram is a square based pyramid.

To calculate the amount of water that would fill the square based pyramid, we would have to find the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid).

The formula for the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid) = 1/3(a²h)

Where a = base edge

h = height of the pyramid.

From the diagram,

a = base edge => 4ft.

From the question,

h = height of the tent is given as how tall the tent is = 8.75ft.

Therefore, 1/3(a²h)

1/3 × (4ft)²× 8.75ft

= 46.67ft³

Approximately = 46.7ft³

Therefore, the amount of water it would it take to fill the tent, if the tent is 8.75 ft tall is 46.7ft³

Square root:27 + SR:48+SQ:12 = ???
Anika [276]
Sqrt(27)+sqrt(48)+sqrt(12)
Sqrt(27)=sqrt(3*3*3)=3*sqrt(3)
Sqrt(48)=sqrt(4*4*3)=4*sqrt(3)
Sqrt(12)=sqrt(2*2*3)=2*sqrt(3)
Add the three to get 9*sqrt(3)
Final answer:
9*sqrt(3)
