68/80 is a fraction
34/40
17/20 is simplest form of fraction
percent means parts out of 100 so x/100
20 times 5=100 so
17/20 time 5/5=x/100=85/100 or 85%
decimal is normally a power of 10 so
85/100=0.85
Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9. 1.24 mL
10. $5.93
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Question 9:</u>
If the dosage of medicine is 0.01 mL per pound of weight of the patient, and the patient's weight is 124 pounds, we can set up an equation to solve for how much medicine the patient would need to take:
Dosage of medicine per pound of body weight x Total body weight = Total medicine required
OR
0.01 * w = m,
where w is total body weight and m is total medicine required.
To solve for the dosage the patient needs, just plug the numbers into the right places (124 for w and leave m as it is):
0.01 * 124 = m
1.24 = m
Therefore, a patient with a body weight of 124 pounds would need a 1.24 mL dosage.
<u>Question 10:</u>
To make the multiplication easier, we could rewrite 15% as 0.15 ( because 15% = 15/100):
0.15 * Total bill = Total tax payed for bill (Also can be written as )
OR
0.15*39.51 = Total tax
5.9265 = Total tax
5.93 = Total tax <-------- (rounded)
Could you please formulate you answer better? So we can get a bette understanding
When adding/subtracting fractions you need a common denominator, but you already have one, which is x-3. So in general:
a/c-b/c=(a-b)/c so you just have:
(2x-6)/(x-3) now if you factor 2 from the numerator
2(x-3)/(x-3) the (x-3)s cancel out leaving
2
However! Note that division by zero is undefined, so x cannot equal 3. (because both original fractions had denominators of x-3)
What this all means is that that expression will equal 2 for all real values of x other than 3.
