A certain alloy contains 14.25% nickel. How much nickel is there in a piece weighing 375 pounds? Round your answer to the neares

Tomtit [17]

Turn the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal point over 2 places to the left. then multiply. so, 1425 * 375 = 53.44

Mike and Beth both write the decimal 0.8 (0.88888...)as a fraction. Mike: 45 Beth: 89 Which student wrote the correct fraction?

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

0.888...

This is a repeating decimal (Is a decimal that has a digit, or a block of digits, that repeat over and over and over again without ever ending)

Convert to fraction number

Let

x=0.888...

10x=8.888...

Subtract 0.888... from 8.888... to remove the decimal

10x-x=8.888...-0.888...

9x=8

Solve for x

x=8/9

therefore

Mike fraction is incorrect

because 4/5=0.8

0.8 is a terminating decimal (It's a decimal with a finite number of digits)

Mike's mistake was considering the number as a terminating decimal instead of a repeating decimal

Beth is correct

because

If you divide 8/9

the result is 0.8888888...

There are 3000 people at a concert you survey a random sample of 200 people and find that for 35 of them this is their first con

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Ok so
ratio
35/200=x/3000
7/40=x/3000
multiply both sides by 12000
2100=4x
divide both sides by 4
525=x

aprox 525 people

The population of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every 24 h. The population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms. How lo

liberstina [14]

Answer:

16.34 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information we can see that the case is of exponential growth

Hence, we will use the formula

$A=P(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

Here A =800 is the amount that is needed to reach

P is the initial amount that is 500

We have to find the time it will take to reach 800 that is we need to find t

On substituting the values in the formula we get

$800=500(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

On simplification we get

$\Rightarrow\frac{8}{5}=(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

Taking log on both sides we get

$\Rightarrow\log\frac{8}{5}=\log(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

using $\log\frac{m}{n}=\log m-\log n$

And $\log a^m=m\log a$

$\Rightarrow\log{8}-\log{5}=\frac{t}{24}\log2$

Now substituting values of log 8=0.903, log 5=0.698 and log 2=0.301 we get

$\Rightarrow 0.903-0.698=\frac{t}{24}0.301$

$\Rightarrow 0.205=\frac{t}{24}0.301$

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.205}{0.301}\cdot 24=t$

$\Rightarrow t=16.34$
