When working with very large or very small numbers, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers use scientific notation to express these quantities. Scientific notation is a mathematical abbreviation, based on the idea that it is easier to read an exponent than to count many zeros in a number. Very large or very small numbers need less space when written in scientific notation because the position values are expressed as powers of 10. Calculations with long numbers are easier to do when using scientific notation

A stone is a British unit of weight equivalent to 14 pounds. After losing 1 1/2 stone. Jim is now 85% of his original weight. Wh

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Jim's current weight = 119 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Stone = 14 pounds

$1\frac{1}{2}$ stone = 1.5 stone

1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds

Jim lost 21 pounds

Let X be Jim's Original Weight

Y be his present weight

As per given statement in the Question:

After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y

Present weight = original weight - 21

Y = X -21 Equation 1

Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)

Y = 85 % (X) = $\frac{85X}{100}$

Y= $\frac{85X}{100}$

put in Equation 1

$\frac{85X}{100}$ = X-21

85X = (X-21) 100

85 X = 100 X -2100

2100 = 100 X - 85X

2100 = 15X

15 X = 2100

$X=\frac{2100}{15}$

X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)

Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 (From Equation 1)

Y = X -21

Y = 140 -21

Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)

How do I solve #14????

Tcecarenko [31]

All the measures in a triangle are equal to 180 degrees.

Let the unknown angle= x.

40+89+x= 180

Combine like terms.

129+x= 180

Subtract 129 from both sides.

x= 51

The angle is equal to 51.

I hope this helps!

Probability question!!

Alisiya [41]

Convert both perecentages to decimal form by dividing each of them by 100 to get 0.60 and 0.65. Next, multiply by 0.60 and 0.65 to get 0.39. Multiply the product by 100 to get the percentage form, 39%. So, the answer is 39%.
