If you multiply 8.5 by 50 cents your answer will be 4.25
The absolute value of y is further from 0.
Explanation:
The absolute value of any number is a positive. If the value of y is greater than x, then y would be further. Let’s input a number as an example. Let’s say that the absolute value of y was 9 and the absolute value of x is 4 due to the y value being larger. 4 is closer to 0 compared to 9 so the absolute value of y is further from 0.
Answer: 5/11
Tip:
You can solve for these repeating fractions by putting the repeating digits over 9's!
For example, 0.33 repeating:
33/99 = 1/3
And in the case of your problem:
0.454545...
45/99 = 5/11 (simplify!)
Let the x ml of water be mixed with 237 ml of ammonia whose strength is 100%, in order to create a mixture of 75% strength.
The equation required to solve this will be:
237/(237+x)=75/100
solving for x we get:
237/(237+x)=3/4
237×4=3(237+x)
948=711+3x
3x+711=948
3x=948-711
3x=237
x=237/3
x=79 ml
therefore the amount of water to be added will be 79 ml
