Answer: 0.75
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.
So we can think of 75% as the ratio 75 to 100 or 75 ÷ 100.
Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left so 75 ÷ 100 will move the decimal point two places to the left which would give us .75 or 0<em>.</em>75.
This means that 75% can be written as the decimal 0<em>.</em>75.
For this, we can set up a proportion.
Their aim was 15000, so if they raised 100% of their goal, they wouldve raised exactly 15000.
They raised 557%, so how much did they make?
Proportion:
$15000 100%
$x 557%
Our expression would be x=$15000*557% divided by 100%, which would be $83550, so... a lot of money.
(we did an “x” formation with the proportion, ie “connected” x with 100, and “connected” 15k and 557. The number connecting to x is what we divide the equation by, and the other two are multiplied and then divided by the first number connecting to x. Otherwise we couldve calculated 557% of 15000 and gotten the same result. Whichever way is easier for you :) )
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first marker is labeled 208708; the second (consecutive) one 208709
Discussion:
Call the first mile marker "m". Then
m + (m+1) = 417417 => combine like terms
2m + 1 = 417417 => subtract 1 from both sides
2m = 417416 => divide both sides by 2
m = 417416/2 = 208708
Note: m and (m+1) are consecutive as they immediately follow each other in the set of integers.
Thank you,
MrB
Angles 2, 6, and 7 because angle 1 = 115 so that makes angle 4 = 115 so angle 2 must also be 65 so angle 4 and 2 = 180 and the same goes for angles 5,6,7,8
