The recommended daily amount of fiber is 30 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of fiber in one cup = 12 grams

It is 40% of our daily recommended amount.

Let,

x be the quantity of fiber recommended daily.

40% of x = 12

$\frac{40}{100}*x=12\\$

$0.4x=12$

Dividing both sides by 0.4

$\frac{0.4x}{0.4}=\frac{12}{0.4}\\x=30$

The recommended daily amount of fiber is 30 grams.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

2 × 2 × 3 × 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The number = 60

To find,

Factors of 60 greater than 1 = ?

Procedure:

As we know,

Any of various numbers multiplied together to form a whole.

To find the factors of a number, we will have to do its prime factorization.

So,

The prime factorization of 60:

1 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 60

Since the factors greater than 1 are asked, the factors would be;

2 * 2 * 3 * 5

Thus, 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 is the correct answer.

Sally went to the clearance rack at a department store and found a shirt she wanted to buy. The shirt was $36.00 and is on sale

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

33.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The actual price of the shirt = $36

Price on sale = $24

We need to find the percent of the decrease. The formula for the percentage is given by :

$\%=\dfrac{|\text{actual value-estimated value}|}{\text{actual value}}\times 100$

Putting all the values,

$\%=\dfrac{24-36}{36}\times 100\\\\=33.34\%$

So, the percentage decrease in the price of the shirt is 33.34%.
