Answer:

10/24 and 15/36, more answers possible

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, it will always be equivalent to 5/12, as you can simplify it back to that fraction.

5/12, multiply both by two, and you have 10/24

5/12, multiply both by three, and you have 15/36

8.) Out of 600 employees, only 270 are happy with their pay. What percent is this? (Please show your work.) *

Gnom [1K]

For this case we can raise a rule of three:

600 employees -------------> 100%

270 employees -------------> x

Where the variable "x" represents the percentage of employees who are satisfied with their salary. So, we have:

$x = \frac {270 * 100} {600}\\x = 45$

Thus, 45% of employees are satisfied with their salary.

Answer:

45%

The graph shows the relationship between the height of a tree and its age in years. What is the unit rate of growth for the tree

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The unit rate is 2 feet per year

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is missing (See attachment)

To determine the unit growth;

First, we have to pick any two corresponding on the x and y axis

When x = 5; y = 10

When x = 1; y = 2

These can be represented as;

$(x_1,y_1) = (5,10)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,2)$

Next, is to determine the slope using;

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Substitute values for x and y

$m = \frac{2 - 10}{1 - 5}$

$m = \frac{-8}{-4}$

$m = 2$

<em>Hence, the unit rate is 2 feet per year</em>

Two 2 1/2 inch plastic strips and two 5 1/3 inch plastic strips are used to form a rectangle. What is the perimeter of the recta

svp [43]

In this question the given information's should be closely noted. The length and width of the perimeter are already given. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Length of the rectangle = 2 1/2 inch
   = 5/2 inch
Width of the rectangle = 5 1/3 inch
   = 16/3 inch
Then
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( Length + Width)
      = 2 [(5/2) + (16/3)]
   = 2 [ (45 + 32)/6]
   = 2 * (77/6)
   = 77/3 inch
   = 25 2/3 inch
So the perimeter of the rectangle in question is 25 2/3 inch. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
