How do I explain how to find one quantity as a percentage of another

Mathematics
1 answer:
s2008m [1.1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  multiply the ratio of quantities by 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

You usually explain a process by describing how it is done. The ratio of two quantities is expressed as a percentage by multiplying that ratio by 100%.

<u>Example</u>

  A as a percentage of B is (A/B)×100%.

_____

You will often see a description of finding a percentage as involving multiplication by 100. What multiplication by 100 does is give you a quantity 100 times as large. Generally, that will not be the number you are looking for.

For example, <em>one out of four</em> as a percentage is not (1/4)·100 = 25. 25 is two tens plus 5, a number way larger than 1/4. Rather, it is (1/4)·100% = 25%.

"Percent" and "hundredths" are interchangeable. The percent symbol (%) is a shorthand way to write /100, which is what it means. Consider the above example:

  25% = 25/100 = 1/4 . . . . these are all the same value, written differently

In decimal, ...

  25% = 25/100 = 0.25 . . . . these are all the same value, written differently

The midsegment through the legs of an isosceles triangle is 4 in. Find the sides of the triangle if its perimeter is 20 in. 75 p
Pani-rosa [81]

The midsegment is half the length of the base. So the base = 2*4 = 8 in.

Since it is an isosceles triangle, the other two sides are equal in length.

Perimeter = sum of two equal sides + base = 20 in.

2x equal side + 8 = 20

equal side = 12/2 = 6

Each of the equal sides = 6"

4. The point Z is the orthocenter of the triangle.

5. The length of GZ is of 9 units.

6. The length of OT is of 9.6 units.

<h3>What is the orthocenter of a triangle?</h3>

The orthocenter of a triangle is the point of intersection of the three altitude lines of the triangle.

Hence, from the triangle given in the end of the answer, point Z is the orthocenter of the triangle.

For the midpoints connected through the orthocenter, the orthocenter is the midpoint of these segments, hence:

  • The length of segment GZ is obtained as follows: GZ = 0.5 GU = 9 units. -> As z is the midpoint of the segment.
  • The length of segment OT is obtained as follows: OT = 2ZT = 2 x 4.8 = 9.6 units.

<h3>Missing Information</h3>

The complete problem is given by the image at the end of the answer.
