Answer:

0.305

Step-by-step explanation:

When we use the percentage (%) notation, to express for example the happening of a success is X%, we are expressing that the corresponding fact is happening X times every 100 times. Instead of X% we could use X/100.

In this example, every 100 units of his payment check, Landon takes 30,5 unites and puts them to his saving account. So, instead of 30.5% we could say 30.5/100. (30.5% = 30.5/100).

So, we have:

30.5% = 30.5/100 = 0.305

This way, 0.305 is the decimal equivalent to 30.5%.

Observation: For avoiding comas in the latter fraction we could also say: 305/1000.

Stardust the unicorn, covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip to the forest. On a later trip he travelled 300 miles whi

jok3333 [9.3K]

His new time compared with the old time was increased by factor of 2

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

This problem is about Kinematics.

In this problem we assume that the unicorn is moving at a constant speed so that the acceleration is zero.

<u>Given:</u>

first distance = d₁ = 50 miles

second distance = d₂ = 300 miles

v₂ = 3 v₁

<u>Unknown:</u>

t₂ : t₁ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

To find his new time , we will use the following formula.

$v_2 = 3 v_1$

$\frac{d_2}{t_2} = 3 \times \frac{d_1}{t_1}$

$\frac{300}{t_2} = 3 \times \frac{50}{t_1}$

$\frac{300}{t_2} = \frac{150}{t_1}$

$t_2 = \frac{300}{150} \times t_1$

$\large {\boxed {t_2 = 2 \times t_1} }$

A bag of potatoes has a mass of 4 kilograms.Some potatoes are taken out.The mass is now 2305 grams.What is the mass of the potat

Colt1911 [192]

First, convert the kilograms to grams. One kilogram is 1000 grams. So multiply it by 1000. Then subtract 2305 from 4000. 4000-2305=1695. So 1695 grams were taken out.

In the image, shape ABCD is similar to shape WXYZ. Find the measure of side ZW.

vladimir2022 [97]

Solution:

we are given that

In the image, shape ABCD is similar to shape WXYZ.

we have been asked to find the measure of side ZW.

As we know that when two shapes are similar then the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal.

So we can write

$\frac{zw}{6}= \frac{18}{24}\\
\\
ZW=6*\frac{18}{24}\\
\\
ZW=\frac{18}{4}\\
\\
ZW=4.5\\$

Hence ZW=4.5 Inches.
