Hello!
To calculate how many votes Mrs. Jones had received, you would begin by converting 70% into a decimal, and then multiplying that decimal by the total number of votes.
Remember, all percentages are out of 100. So, 70/100 can be simplified into 7/10. As a decimal, 7/10 would be 0.7.
Next, we multiply 0.7 by the total number of votes, which is 1,500.
0.7 · 1500 = 1050
Therefore, in this election, Mrs. Jones received 1,050 votes out of the total 1,500 votes casted.
Bob has a garden
the area is 75 square feet
the legnth is 3 times the width
solve
75=lw
l=3w
subsitute
75=3w times w=3w^2
75=3w^2
sdivide by 3
25=w^2
square root
5=width
subsitute
3w=l
3 times 5=l
l=15
width=5
legnth=15
Use formula A²+B²=C²
120²+62²=C²
14,400+3,844=C²
14,400+3,844=18,244
√18,244=135.07035...
135.07035...≈135.1
