To solve this problem, we must divide the number of movies that Jenny thought were very good by the total number of movies she watched. This is because we are finding a percentage, which represents a part out of a whole that have a factor, which in this case is very good movies. First, we begin by dividing 44/55. Then, we realize that both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 11, so if we divided them both by 11 that would simplify the fraction.
44/55 = 44/11 / 55/11 = 4/5
Next, we can now easily divide our simplified fraction.
4/5 = 0.8
Finally, we must multiply by 100, because a percentage is a portion of 100 (the total is 100%). This is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the right.
0.8 * 100 = 80%
Therefore, Jenny thinks that 80% of the movies she watched this year were very good.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
- Initial amount of the material is 67 kg
- Hal-life is 83 hours
<u>The required equation is:</u>
- m(x) = 67 *
, where m- remaining amount of the radioactive material, x - number of hours
<u>After 5 hours the material remains:</u>
- m(5) = 67 *
= 64.260 (rounded)
575/100==23/4=5 3/4
hope this helps!
