Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We khow that the genetic mutation affect 2 percent of the population .
Let's try to understand what does this mean :
- in a group of 100 people there is possibility of finding 2 people with this genetic mutation
- in a group of 1000 the possibility raises to 20 people so we can deduce that each time we add a zero we add a zero in 2
so :
- 100⇒2
- 1000⇒20
- 10000⇒200
- 100000⇒2000
and so on
17 ½ % of 240
First option
Change the fraction ½
to a decimal. It would be 0.5 ( 1 divided by 2)
½=0.5
You will add the whole number 17 to the result.
17 + 05 = 17.5
Now you will divide by 100 (percent)
17.5 /100 To divide a
decimal by 100, move the decimal point two
places to the left.
17.5 /100 = 0.175 times 240
0.175 x 240 = 42
Second option
Change the percent to an improper fraction
17 ½= 35/2 (you have to multiply (2 x 17) plus 1 equals 35
over 2 ( keep the denominator). It will be 35/2. Put the other number (240) over 100 and
multiply.
35/2 x 240/100 = 42
There is another way . You can simplify
Cancel all the zeros that you have and start to reduce.

Answer:
84 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
35% as a decimal is .35.
240*.35=84
Answer:
O is the center of the circle with radius IE(=ID=EF)
Step-by-step explanation:
Join all 3 points D, E, F, forming the triangle DEF.
Let the midpoint of EF be M and the midpoint of ED be N. (first picture)
Join point I to E, D and F.
Since IN is both an altitude and median to triangle EID, then triangle EID is an isosceles triangle, and IE=ID
similarly, we see that IE=IF.
conclusion: IE=ID=EF.
