What is 2 3/8 as a percent

1 answer:

6 0

Percent means parts out of 100 so x%=x/100
convert to improper fraction for in x/y form so

2 and 3/8
2=16/8
2 and 3/8=16/8+3/8=19/8
convert bottom number to 100
one way is multiply whole thing by 100/100
19/8 times 100/100=1900/800
divide by 8
237.5/100=237.5%
that is precent
another way is divide completely
19/8=2.375
that is over 1 so convert to over 100 so
2.375/1 times 100/100=237.5/100=237.5%

answe ris 237.5%

A landscaper is designing a flower garden in the shape of a trapezoid. She wants the length of the shorter base to be 3 yards gr

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Correct Answer:
Option A. 17.1 Yards

Solution:
Let the height of trapezium is x yards. According to the given data, we can express the lengths of bases in terms of height.

The short base is 3 yards greater than the height, so measure of short base will be (x+3) yards.

The longer base is 5 yards greater than the height, so measure of longer base will be (x+5) yards.

Area of trapezium is given to be 360 square yards.

Area of trapezium = 0.5 x (Height) x (Sum of Bases)

Using the values, we get:

$360=0.5(x)(x+3+x+5) \\ \\ 
720=x(2x+8) \\ \\ 
2 x^{2} +8x-720=0 \\ \\ 
2( x^{2} +4x-360)=0 \\ \\ 
 x^{2} +4x-360=0 \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-4+- \sqrt{16-4(1)(-360)} }{2} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-4+- \sqrt{1456} }{2} \\ \\ 
x = 17.1 , -21.1$

Since the height cannot have a negative value, we conclude that the height of trapezium rounded to nearest tenth of a yard will be 17.1 yards.
