It was reported in your department meeting that over the past year your hospital decreased the number of employees by four perce

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Number of people employed this year = 373

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of employees this year = x

These employees were decreased by 4% then the remaining number of employees this year = x - (4% of x)

= x - 0.04x

= 0.96x

If last year number of people employed were 389 then the number of people employed this year = 0.96×389

= 373.44

When rounded to whole number, number of people employed this year = 373.

2 1⁄2 ÷ 1 3⁄6 please help me with the RIGHT answer.

ycow [4]

Answer:

$1\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

$2 \frac{1}{2} \div 1 \frac{3}{6}$

This is the same as:

$2 \frac{1}{2} \div 1 \frac{1}{2}$

Now let us convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

$\frac{5}{2} \div \frac{3}{2}$

We multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction to get:

$\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}$

Cancel out the common factors to obtain:

$\frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3}$
