Determine 50% of 120

Mathematics
2 answers:
Lady bird [3.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is just asking what half of 120 is.

Think of it as multiplication.

What's half of 12? The answer is 6.  ---------------      (6 x 2 = 12)

Just had a zero to whatever your "half" is and multiply that by 2.

60 x 2 = 120

Just remember that 50% is half of 100%

25% = 1/4

50% = 2/4 OR 1/2

75% = 3/4

100% = 4/4 OR 1

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation: To find 50% of 120, first write 50% as a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left to get .50.

Next, the word <em>of</em> means multiply, so we have (.50)(120) which is 60.

This means that 50% of 120 is 60.

In an election the successful candidate registered 5,77,500 votes and his nearest rival secured 3,48,700 votes by what margin di
Sav [38]

Answer:

the successful candidate won the election with a 24% margin.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the infomation provided, first you need to find the total amount of votes by adding the number of votes that the successful candidate registered plus the number of votes that his nearest rival secured:

577,500+ 348,700=926,200

Next, you need to find the percentage of votes that the successful candidate registered and that the nearest rival secured by dividing the number of votes by the total amount of votes and multiplying the result for 100:

577,500/925,200=0.62*100=62%

348,700/926,200=38%

Now, you need to find the difference between both percentages to get the margin:

62%-38%=24%

According to this, the answer is that the successful candidate won the election with a 24% margin.

Talja [164]
The answer would be A. 39,300.

I got this by multiplying 34,500 by 2% and getting 690. Since 2018 is 7 years away from 2025, I multiplied 690 by 7 getting 4,830. I added the 4,830 to the original population of 34,500 and got my answer, 39,300. Hope I helped!

How do you find the middle term of a perfect square trinomial?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Take the square root of the constant (number w/o the variable) and then multiply that by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A perfect square trinomial is something like this: x^{2} +6x+9. If I have 6x, and I want to find the last term I would take half a six and then square it to get 9.

SO.... To get the middle term of a perfect square trinomial, you would need to do the reverse.. So...

1) Take the square root of the constant...

2) Multiply that by 2
