Answer:

41 cookies in the box are not sugar cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find what percentage of the total cookies aren't sugar cookies. If 18% are, then the amount that aren't is:

100% - 18% = 82%

Since 82% of the cookies aren't sugar cookies, multiply 82% by 50 to find the amount of cookies that aren't sugar cookies:

50 * 82% = 41

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first work out how many of the total cookies are 1%. To calculate this, divide the total by 100

50 ÷ 100 = 0.5 (1% of the cookies is 1/2 a cookie)

As 18% of these cookies are sugar cookies, multiply the 1% by 18

0.5 x 18 = 9 (9 of the cookies are sugar cookies)

To work out how many are NOT sugar cookies, subtract the sugar cookies from the total

50 - 9 = 41

∴41 of the cookies were NOT sugar cookies

I hope this helped :-)

Translate to an algebraic statement. "The quotient of twice a number and 7 is 20."

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Translation: 2x/7 = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

When we listen to the word "quotient", it means the solution to a division problem.
An unknown number that has been multiplied by 2 is in the numerator because it came before the 7 in the statement.
The number "7" is in the denominator because it came after the 2x in the statement.
The word "is" represents an equal sign.
The solution to the division problem (quotient) is 20.

If we put these clues together, we get 2x/7 = 20 as our translated equation.

Hence, our algebraic statement is 2x/7 = 20. The key is to listen to the statement.

A giraffe can run 40 meters per second what is its speed in miles per hour

lora16 [44]

Bearing in mind that, there are

60 seconds in 1 minute,
60 minutes in 1 hr,
1000 meters in 1 km,
and 1.609 km in 1 mile

$\bf \cfrac{40\underline{m}}{\underline{s}}\cdot \cfrac{60\underline{s}}{\underline{min}}\cdot \cfrac{60\underline{min}}{hr}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{km}}{1000\underline{m}}\cdot \cfrac{mi}{1.609\underline{km}}\implies \cfrac{40\cdot 60\cdot 60\cdot mi}{hr\cdot 1000\cdot 1.609}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{144000mi}{1609hr}\approx 89.496581\frac{mi}{hr}$
