15 tsp of black pepper was used. 2 half tsp = one whole tsp. 12 half tsp is equivalent to 6 tsp. Multiply 1 1/4 by 12 and you get 15. <span />

What is 8 2/5% of 75? Write your answer as a decimal
likoan [24]

Answer: 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer that has already been given is perfect in and by itself. I just want to give you some methods for doing these type of questions so that you won’t stagger when you see these type of questions in exams (like the SAT).

Whenever you see such questions, remember the following things. These are conversions of English words to Mathematical tools.

What

=

Any variable like

x

Percent / Percentage / %

=

Divide by 100

of

=

Multiply

is

=

Put an equal to (

=

) sign

I’ll give you an example through a question.

What percent of 200 is 5?

Ans: Replace English words by mathematical tools according to the rules I told you.

x

( What) /100 ( percent)

×

( of) 200

=

( is) 5

In a refined form,

x

100

×

200

=

5

Calculate x. On calculating, x comes out to be

2.5

So, 2.5 percent of 200 is 5.

Now your question is actually very simple if you follow my rules.

You want 87.5%. By the rules, % means divided by 100. So

87.5

%

=

87.5

100

and now using the same strategy, Ans:

875

1000

Disregard the next section if you know how to convert a decimal to a fraction

Section Starts

First, I’ll write the decimal form. Whenever you divide by a number that is in form of 1 followed by

n

number of zeroes. (here 1 is followed by 2 zeroes), you should shift the decimal point to the left side by n places.

In this case, shift decimal point in 87.5 to the left by 2 places. So this becomes 0.875.

This is the answer in decimal point.

Now simultaneously, I’ll teach you how to convert a decimal into a fraction.

Here, you see 2 types of “numbers”. One to the left side of the decimal point and one to the right side of the decimal point.

Here, left side of decimal point is 0 and right side of decimal point is 875.

Count the number of digits in the number to the right side of the decimal point (Here, the number of digits is 3)

Remove the decimal point and divide the number by a number formed by 1 followed by the “digits” we obtained (i.e. 3).

So, 875/1000. Simplify this, and you get your answer.

Find the circumference of a circle whose area is equal to 64π^2​
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

14 6/7 is the circumference

Step-by-step explanation:

you first of all look for the radius using the formulae multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 22/7

7/22 ×22/7r=64×7/22=224/11{2 4/11)

2 4/11 is the radius

cir =2×22/7×2 4/11

2×22/7× 26/11=104/7

==== =14 6/7

all i can do but am not sure sorry

What is the unit rate of $2.98
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The existence of a unit rate implies that you have TWO variables.  Here you list only one:  $.

If you pay $2.98 for 6 units of something, such as pieces of fruit, then the unit rate would be:

$2.98

----------------------- = $0.50/piece

6 pieces of fruit

Plz help me, I have others I need help with​
lisov135 [29]

Step-by-step explanation:

That function is a line that goes through the origin (0,0).

You only need one more point to be able to draw it.

Take x=4,5 the corresponding value of y is exactly what you want to know, the number of miles the lava moved after 4,5 hours.

So y = 6 * 4,5 = 27

Your second point is (4,5 , 27).

Now you can draw your line.
