Answer:

7 pieces, with a short piece left over (the leftover piece is 1/24 yd long).

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the available 5/8 yd by 1/12 yd/ribbon to determine the number of pieces of 1/12 yd length could be obtained:

5

---

8

=======  This can be evaluated by inverting the 1/12 and then multiplying.

 1

-----

12

We get 5/8 times 12/1, or 60/8, which is equal to 7 4/8 pieces.

Tom was able to cut 7  1/12-yd pieces from the 5/8 yd piece, and has a 1/24  yd piece left over / remaining.

An item that was selling for $72.00 was reduced to $60.00. Find the percent decrease in price. Show all your work.
dsp73
The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is: 
<span>(new - old) / old * 100% </span>

<span>new = 60 </span>
<span>old = 72 </span>

<span>(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>-12 / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>= -1/6 * 100% </span>
<span>= -0.1666... * 100% </span>
<span>≈ -16.667% </span>

<span>Because it is negative, that's a decrease. </span>

<span>Answer: </span>
<span>A decrease of about 16.7%</span>

What is the fourth term in the arithmetic sequence 13,10,7
Anettt [7]
The fourth term in the arithmetic sequence is 4. This is because you are subtracting 3 each time, and you already have your first three numbers in the pattern, so all you have to do is subtract another 3 in order to get 4.
