What is −3/8 as a decimal and as a percent?

To find a fraction as a decimal you would divide the denominator by the numerator.

Decimal:
-3/8 = -.375

Then for the percentage you would move the decimal two places to the right.

Percentage:
-37.5 (Since the number to the right isn't a zero we can't drop it) therefore the percentage would be -37.5%

The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 2x - 3 inches long. the longer sides are 6 inches longer than the shortest side. t
Zolol [24]
Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3

Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides

Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x

(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5

If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)

Answer: 13 inches

How to tell if an ordered pair is a solution to a function
Evgen [1.6K]
A) yes
B) yes
C) no

For each of these, substitute the value of x in the ordered pair into x in the function.

For A, x = -5; -5<2, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = 3.  In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=3, so yes, it is a solution.

For B, x = 2; 2≤2<6, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = -x+1.  In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=-1; -2+1=-1, so yes, it is a solution.

For C, x = 8; 8≥6, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = x.  In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=-7; -7≠8, so no, it is not a solution.

sandra and her friend went to the candy store. each of them purchased a bag of jelly beans. sandra's bag weighed 1.25 pounds. He
Nuetrik [128]

You would subtract.

The question is asking who has more, so to find out, you need to take away the smaller amount from the bigger amount. (1.25-1.05)

So Sandra bought more candy. Hope this helps!
