What percent of 1.60 is 6

1 answer:

6 0

N% x 1.60 = 6 (I turned it from English to math)
Can't move n% back two places to make it a decimal so I will move the number I am multiplying by n% back two places instead.
Here is a sample to show you why it works. .34 x 57 = 34 x .57

So
.016n = 6 (.016 is 1.60 decimal moved back two places)

Now divide both sides by .016
.016n = 6
.016 .016 n = 375%

Why is the percent over 100% you might ask?

What % of 1.60 is 1.60 (Answer - all of it or 100%)
So What % of 1.60 is 6 - the number 6 being much bigger than 1.60, it is not surprising that the percent is more than 100.

What % of 1.60 is 1.60 - 100%
What % of 1.60 is 3.20 - 200% (notice that 3.20 is twice 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 4.80 - 300% (notice that 4.80 is three times 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 6.40 - 400% (notice that 6.40 is four times 1.60)
6 (the number in the problem) is just a bit less than 6.40 so 375% makes a lot a sense.

What is equivalent to 3 to the negative 2nd power

VladimirAG [237]

3 to the negative second power is written like this: $3^{-2}$ .

When simplifying an expression with a negative exponent, you take a positive version of the exponent, in this case that would be 2, and apply that to the base.
After doing that, we have 9.
The next step is to put one over that number.
In this case, now after doing that the answer is $\frac{1}{9}$ .

Hope this helps!
