Decimal And fraction in meters of 8 centimeters

1 answer:

5 0

Ok so
Knowing that 1 metre consists of 100cm,
You can conclude and agree that 8 cm is 8/100, correct?
Now, when converting fractions to decimals, it makes it easier out of 100 or 10. Since it's out of 100 already, you take the amount of zero's in 100 (two) and you move the decimal point (2) places to the left

This gives you 0.08
So the fraction is 8/100, which then can be simplified to 4/50, then to 2/25
and the decimal is 0.08.

pasha is thinking of a number such that when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number she gets the same

Lelechka [254]

This is the equation made from the problem where x=mystery number
2x+3(x+1)=4(x-1)

Now let's solve for x!

We start by distributing 3 into (X+1)

3(x)=3x and 3(1)=3

Now our equation is 2x+3x+3=4(x-1)

Let's combine both x values on the left side of the equation: 2x + 3x=5x

We now have 5x+3=4(x-1)

Let's distribute 4 into (x-1)

4(x)=4x and 4(-1)=-4

Now our equation is 5x+3=4x-4

subtract 3 form both sides

5x=4x-7

subtract 4x from both sides

x=-7

Yay! So the number she is thinking of is -7!

In a sample of students, 125 said they exercise on a regular basis. How large was the sample if 27.3% said they exercised on a r

krek1111 [17]

First, let's declare a variable

x = # of students

Now, let's create an equation to model the problem.

x * 0.273 = 125

Divide both sides by 0.273

x = 457.8 = 458 students.

Note, I rounded to the nearest whole number.

When Lila conducted an experiment on citywide pond water, all of her samples came from the pond in her uncle's backyard. Explain

liq [111]

Her area of study is too narrow. There are other sources of water in the city that she is not considering. So her sample is too biased leaning toward the Uncle's pond water, and that leaves out every other source. We say that the Uncle's source of water is over-represented while the other sources are completely under-represented.

Let's put it this way: We have a hypothetical city that has 100 acres of pond water either in or surrounding the city limits. If the Uncle's pond only represents 1% of this, then she's ignoring the other 99% of the ponds.

What Lila needs to do to to fix this error is to draw up a map of each major pond and mark those ponds with numbers 001,002,...998,999. In this example, there are 999 ponds. Then she needs to either use a random number table or computer software to help randomly generate values to help select the ponds. Doing so will ensure that she spans a good portion of the city and not stay focused on just the narrow area of her Uncle's backyard.

The reason why she needs to enlarge her area of study is because the results of her Uncle's pond study may lead to the wrong conclusion of the city overall. Let's say his pond is contaminated somehow, and it's only his pond that's the unfortunate one. She would likely see the pond is contaminated and conclude that the whole city's water is ruined as well, which isn't the case. Or we could have nearly the entire city's pond water in trouble, but her Uncle's pond is one of the lucky ponds not to get contaminated. We can see that Lila would likely conclude that no action needs to be taken to clean up the city's water sources, which is also not the case.

If Lila only cared about her Uncle's pond, then that pond (and perhaps immediate close surrounding area) would be her population of study. However, her study is about citywide pond water which is why she needs to extend to other places in the city or in the outer surrounding areas.
