Answer:

0.62

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 62 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62=100%.

4. We know, that x is 1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 62=100%

2) x=1%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

62/x=100%/1%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1% of 62

62/x=100/1

(62/x)*x=(100/1)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

62=100*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (100) to get x

62/100=x

0.62=x

x=0.62

now we have:

1% of 62=0.62

Which inequality represents the statement? The ages (a) of s group of travelers all exceeded 17 years and were no more then 54 y

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The inequality that represents the age of the group, "x", is: $17 < x \leq 54$

Step-by-step explanation:

To express this problem in an inequality we will attribute the age of the members on the group with the variable "x". There are two available information about "x", the first states that every member of the group is older than 17 years, therefore we can create a inequality based on that:

$x > 17$

While the second data from the problem states that none of than is older than 54 years old, this implies that they can be at most that old, therefore the inequality that represents this is:

$x\leq 54$
