well, 120,000 has 4 zeros and 12,000 has 3 zeros, so if we divide 120,000 by 10 we get 12,000, just to make it short, 12,000 is one tenth of 120,000 and thus the 10%.
now, 48,000, we know that 120,000 is the 100%, what is 48,000 in percentage off of it?

Answer:
4,000 liters of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
If it has only been one day, then there should only be 4,000 liters of water considering half of 8,000 is 4,000. You're Welcome! (:
Answer:
So, the initial number of apples is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of apples of An, Binh, and Chi are the same. An gave away 17 apples, Chi gave away 19 apples, so now Chi's apples are 5 times higher than the total remaining apples of An and Binh. How many apples did each of you have at first? (Solve the above problem by equation or system of equations)
Let the initial numbers of apples is a.
An gave 17 apples
Chi gave 19 apples
So,
x - 19 = 5 (x - 17 + x)
x - 19 = 5 (2x - 17)
x - 19 = 10 x - 85
9 x = 66
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The T-shirt is launched with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft/s from a height of 5 feet. Its equation of motion is given by :
....(1)
(a) For maximum height, put 
So,

Now put,

So, the time taken for the T-shirt to reach maximum height is 2.5 seconds.
(b) Put x = 2.5 s in equation (1)

Answer:
- 3n+6 (n = smallest)
- 3n (n = middle)
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual method for doing this is to let n represent the smallest one. Then the three integers are ...
n, n+2, and n+4
and their sum is ...
(n) +(n+2) +(n+4) = 3n+6 . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = smallest)
_____
Personally, for consecutive number problems, I prefer to let the variable represent the average value. If n is the average value of 3 consecutive odd integers, is is the middle integer. Of course, the sum will be 3 times the average:
(n-2) +(n) +(n+2) = 3n . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = middle one)
