Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation: To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. if we want to write 1/4 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 1/4 with a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

$\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{n}{100}$

4n = 100

÷4 ÷4

n = 25

Therefore, 1/4 is equivalent to 25%.

Explain your thinking process to find the sum of all integers between 12 and 40

bezimeni [28]

You can treat it as an arithmetic sequence, so multiply the average integer value by the number of integers:
(40+12)/2 × (40 -12 +1) = 26×29 = 754

You can subtract the sum of integers 1–11 (66) from the sum of integers 1–40 (820) to get the sum of integers from 12–40: 820 - 66 = 754.

You can let a graphing calculator do it. (See attached.) This method takes perhaps the least amount of thought. It, too, gets a sum of 754.

Use intercepts to graph each linear function.<br><br>6x-3y=15

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Solve for y.

y= −5+2x

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

y=2x−5

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Slope: 2

y-intercept: (0,−5)

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y values.

The mechanical advantage of the block and tackle is that it is easier to lift a lock using multiple parts of the rope that go around the system of pulleys. If there are no friction, the mechanical advantage is exactly equal to the number of parts of the rope that are attached to the load.
