Percent formula : is/of = %/100
18 is what percent of 20...
is = 18
of = 20
% = x
sub and solve
18/20 = x/100
cross multiply
(20)(x) = (100)(18)
20x = 1800
x = 1800/20
x = 90 <=== so 18 is 90% of 20
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance we need to add the numbers:
2 - (-3/4) = 2 + 3/4
Answer:
a) 91 1/6 gallons
b) 2502 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given a number of miles and a number of gallons for the car. The ratio of these numbers is ...
(261 mi)/(14.5 gal) = 18 mi/gal
We presume this value is constant for this car. Then the questions can be answered by forming and solving a proportion:
a) 1641 miles/(gallons) = 18 mi/(1 gal)
Multiplying by gallons and dividing by 18 mi/gal, we get
1641/18 gal = (gallons) = 91 1/6 gal
It will take 91 1/6 gallons of gasoline for Mary to drive to her friend's house.
___
b) Same deal, but the miles are unknown.
(miles)/(139 gal) = (18 mi)/(1 gal)
Multiplying by 139 gal gives ...
(18 mi)·139 = (miles) = 2502 mi
139 gallons of gasoline will let Mary drive 2502 miles.
Answer: The total money invested in the field will be $1,623.80
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the dimensions of the field
Let
x -----> the length of the field
y -----> the width of the field
p=2(x+y)
p(4.80)=1,584
p=330m
we know that
The perimeter of the field is equal to
so
330=2(x+y)----> equation A
x=4y-10 ------> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
330=2(4y-10+y)
165=(5y-10)
5y=165+10
y+35
Find the value of x
x=4(35)-10+130
therefore
The length of the field is 130 meters and the width of the field is 35 meters
step 2
Find the area of the field
The area of the field is
A=xy
substitute
A=(130)(35)=4,550m2
step 3
Find the number of bags of seed
Divide the area by 460
4,550/460=9.89 bags
Round up to the nearest whole number
9.89 bags=10 bags
step 4
Find the cost of the seed
(10 )(3.98)=$19.8
step 5
Find the total money invested in the field
1,584+$39.8=$1,623.80
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the expression:
And we want to find its sign given that a>0 and b<0.
Notice that the expression is already negative since we have -4.
a>0 means that a is positive. Therefore, we can ignore it since it won’t do anything.
b<0 means that b is negative. Therefore, we will have two negatives being multiplied together. Hence, this will make a positive.
Therefore, the sign of our expression will be positive.
We can see this with an example. Let a=1 (1>0) and let b=-1 (-1<0). Then:
So, the sign is positive.
Hence, the answer is A.
