14.5% is not equivilent to 14.5 because 14.5% is a part of the whole 1 or 100%. 14.5 is greater than one so that is incorrect.

To find the equivilent you divide the percent by 100 since it is part of 100 and it is a fraction of 14.5/100.

14.5/100 is 0.145 which is the equivilent.

That statement is incorrect. When writing a percentage as a decimal, the decimal point goes before the tens place, like so: .145

Can some one explain how to do this?

Delvig [45]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent and sine ratios in the right triangle EFG

tan60° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{FG}{EG}$ = $\frac{28}{EG}$ ( multiply both sides by EG )

EG × tan60° = 28 ( divide both sides by tan60° )

EG = $\frac{28}{tan60}$ ≈ 16.2 in ( to the nearest tenth )

--------------------------------------------------------------

sin60° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{FG}{EF}$ = $\frac{28}{EF}$ ( multiply both sides by EF )

EF × sin60° = 28 ( divide both sides by sin60° )

EF = $\frac{28}{sin60}$ ≈ 32.3 in ( to the nearest tenth )

Would a scale factor of -2 be considered an expansion or a contraction?

LekaFEV [45]

Scale factors of negative numbers are contractions

scale factors of numbers greater then 1 are expansions
scale factors of numbers greater then 0 but less then 1 are contractions

What is equivalent to 24/16

gulaghasi [49]

We can convert 24/16 to a mixed number. It will be equivalent to 24/16.

24/16
24 ÷ 16 = 1.5
16 can go in to 24 once.
24 - 16 = 8

1 = whole number
8 = numerator
16 = denominator

Lets write our mixed number:-

$1 \frac{8}{16}$

This can be simplified ^^^^

$\frac{8/8}{16/8} = \frac{1}{2}$

So, our old mixed number simplified is $1 \frac{1}{2}$

So, 24/16 is equivalent to 1. $1 \frac{8}{16}$ , 2. $1 \frac{1}{2}$

Hope I helped ya!!! xD
