23
%
=
23
100
=
0.23
First we have to think that the symbol

=
1
100
so that
23
%
=
23
⋅
(
1
100
)
this is read twenty three percent is equal to twenty three multiplied by one divided by one hundred.
the result is the fraction
23
100
Now, to convert to decimal, simply divide 23 by 100
23
÷
10
=
2.3
and
2.3
÷
10
=
0.23
this is the same as
23
÷
100
=
0.23
Answer:
The wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of the ladder leaning against wall (Hypotenuse) = 20 foot.
Height from where the window is above from the ground (Leg1) = 17 feet.
To find the distance of the bottom of the ladder far from the wall (Leg2) = ?
Now, by using the pythagorean theorem:





by squaring both sides

10.535 foot rounded nearest tenth is 10.5 foot.
Therefore, the wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.
The answer is 0.7 Have a nice day
