Every 3 minutes they make one ton.
there  are 1440 a da24H) s0 1440/3= 480

So they make about 480 tons per 24 hours

Correct answer: B

The first thing to be done is to convert the 2 tons into pounds.

1 pound is equal to 0.0005 tons (US). So, 2 tons divided by 0.0005 will give us the aluminium pounds per week that are processed by the Recycling Centre B.

=4000

Recycling Centre B processes 4000 pounds/week. In order to compare to Recycling Centre A, we need to find the rate in pounds per hour. To do so divide the 4000 pounds by 168 (24×7 = number of hours in a week).

≈23.8

The Recycling Centre B processes about 23.8 pounds/hour whereas the Recycling Centre A processes 100pounds/hour.

Answer:

2.150 = 2.15

2 +15/10 > 2.15

2 + 0.015 < 2.15

215/100 = 2.15

Step-by-step explanation:

2.150 = 2.15, because 2.15 can be rewritten as 2.150.

2 +15/10=2+1.5=3.5

2 +15/10 > 2.15

3.5 > 2.15

2 + 0.015 < 2.15

2.015 < 2.15

215/100 = 2.15

2.15 = 2.15

Sarah currently earns $18.00 an hour at her job. Thanks to her hard work, her boss is going to give her a 20% raise. How much wi
Pie

Answer:

21.6 $ / h

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a raise you'll calculate by multiplying the $ / h by (1 + % / 100)

In this case 1 + % / 100 = 1 + 20 / 100 = 1 + 0.20 = 1.20

1.20 * 18 = 21.6 $ / h

NB.:

If it was a decrease by 20 % => 1 - 20 / 100 = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

You would multiply the $ by 0.80.

21. In an election involving only two candidates, every vote will be counted against one candidate or the other. The total of votes for the two candidates must add to the total of votes cast. The numbers 60% and 1/3 = 33 1/3% add to 93 1/3%, not 100%, so cannot be right.

22. 500/2000 = 1/4 (fraction) = 0.25 (decimal) = 25%

... 1200/2000 = 3/5 (fraction) = 0.60 (decimal) = 60%

... 300/2000 = 3/20 (fraction) = 0.15 (decimal) = 15%

___

The ratio of each number to 2000 gives you the fraction. You need to reduce it by removing common factors from numerator and denominator. Some calculators will do this for you. You can start by removing an equal number of zeros from numerator and denominator, for example 500/2000 = 5/20. Then you make use of your knowledge of multiplication tables to identify and remove any additional common factors. In this example, 5/20 = 5/(5·4) = 1/4.

The decimal form can be found a couple of ways. One is to simply recognize the decimal form of the fraction you have. (You have memorized that 1/4 = 0.25, for example.) Another is to multiply numerator and denominator by a number that makes the denominator be a power of 10, such as 100. For example, 1/4 = (1·25)/(4·25) = 25/100. Now, you use place value to put this fraction into decimal form. Twenty-five hundredths is 0.25.

Yet another way to find the decimal value of a fraction is to divide the numerator by the denominator using long division (or your calculator).

If you have done the decimal part by making a denominator of 100, you have already found the percentage. The "%" symbol means "/100", so 25/100 is 25%. They are two ways of writing the same thing.

Moving the decimal point two places to the right and adding a "%" sign is another way to get to a percentage from a decimal. (0.463 = 46.3%, for an example not related to this problem.)
