Answer:

a = 15/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

(2a-5)/6 = 5/12

Cross multiply:

12(2a - 5) = 5*6

24a - 60 = 30

24a = 90

a = 90/24

a = 15/4.

Answer:

0.884

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply exponents together, you add the powers values together.

Step 1: Multiply base numbers

6.8(1.3) = 8.84

Step 2: Multiply (add) exponentials

$10^2(10^{-3}) = 10^{-1}$

Step 3: Combine into scientific notation

$8.84(10^{-1})$

Step 4: Evaluate into standard form

A manufacturing company with 450 employees begins a new product line and must increase their number of employees by 18%. How man

Sonja [21]

You just multiply 450 by .18 and it'll give you the 18% you have to add to 450.
So the equation would look like:

450(.18)=81

Which you then add:

450+81= 531

So 531 is your total!
