What percent of 52 is 12 ? Round your answer to the nearest tenth .

1 answer:

6 0

Approximately 23. It is simple, but if you are asking because you don't know how to find it, divide the smaller number by the bigger number. Then, multiply this number by 100.

Hope I helped!

The sum of two numbers is 44. One number is 2 more than twice the other. Write a system of equations that defines this situation

hram777 [196]

System: x + y = 44; x = 2y + 2

Solve with substitution: x = 30; y = 14

x + y = 44
x = 2y + 2

Substitute 2y + 2 for x

2y + 2 + y = 44

3y + 2 = 44

Subtract 2 on both sides.

3y = 42

y = 14

Now substitute back in.

x + 14 = 44

Subtract 14 on both sides.

x = 30

A projectile is fired directly upward. The compound inequality 89 – 9.8t < 10.6 or 89 – 9.8t > 20.4 represents a projectil

Tom [10]

Given compound inequality 89 – 9.8t < 10.6 or 89 – 9.8t > 20.4.

Let us solve them one by one.

89 – 9.8t < 10.6

Subtracting 89 from both sides, we get

89-89 – 9.8t < 10.6 - 89

-9.8t < -78.4

Dividing both sides by -9.8, we get

t > 8.

<em>Note: Inequality sign get flip on dividing both side by a negative number.</em>

89 – 9.8t > 20.4

Subtracting 89 from both sides, we get

89-89 – 9.8t < 20.4 - 89

-9.8 t < - 68.6.

Dividing both sides by -9.8, we get

t < 7

<em>Note: Inequality sign get flip on dividing both side by a negative number.</em>

<h3><em> The solution to the inequality 89 – 9.8t < 10.6 is </em>t > 8. </h3><h3> The solution to the inequality 89 – 9.8t > 20.4 is t < 7.</h3>

When the projectile hits the ground:

89 – 9.8t = 0

Subtracting 89 from both sides, we get

89 - 89 – 9.8t = 0 -89.

-9.8t = -89.

Dividing both sides by 9.8, we get

<h3>to the nearest whole second t is about 9 seconds.</h3><h3>Therefore, variable solution set is {t < 7, t > 8, t = 9}.</h3><h3 />

Given the circle with the equation (x + 1)2 + y2 = 36, determine the location of each point with respect to the graph of the cir

kati45 [8]

$\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ 
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2
\qquad 
center~~(\stackrel{}{ h},\stackrel{}{ k})\qquad \qquad 
radius=\stackrel{}{ r}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(x+1)^2+y^2=36\implies [x-(\stackrel{h}{-1})]^2+[y-\stackrel{k}{0}]^2=\stackrel{r}{6^2}~~~~
\begin{cases}
\stackrel{center}{(-1,0)}\\
\stackrel{radius}{6}
\end{cases}$

so, that's the equation of the circle, and that's its center, any point "ON" the circle, namely on its circumference, will have a distance to the center of 6 units, since that's the radius.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad 
A(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{distance}{d}=\sqrt{[-1-(-1)]^2+(1-0)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+1^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{0+1}\implies d=1$

well, the distance from the center to A is 1, namely is "inside the circle".

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad 
B(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6})\\\\\\
\stackrel{distance}{d}=\sqrt{[-1-(-1)]^2+(6-0)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+6^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{0+36}\implies d=6$

notice, the distance to B is exactly 6, and you know what that means.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad 
C(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-8})
\\\\\\
\stackrel{distance}{d}=\sqrt{[4-(-1)]^2+[-8-0]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(-8)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{25+64}\implies d=\sqrt{89}\implies d\approx 9.43398$

notice, C is farther than the radius 6, meaning is outside the circle, hiking about on the plane.

Debbie estimated that a caterpillar was 4.5 cm long. Later, she found its actual length to be 4.8 cm. Find the percent error.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Percent error = 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error can be defined as a measure of the extent to which an experimental value differs from the theoretical value.

Mathematically, it is given by this expression;

$Percent \; error = \frac {experimental \;value - theoretical \; value}{ theoretical \;value} *100$
