Answer:

0.125 and 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100 to move 2 decimal places to the left.

12.50% / 100 = 0.125

To convert a percentage into a fraction, rewrite the decimal number you got and put it over 1. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to move 3 decimal places to the right and get your fraction.

\frac{0.125}{1} · \frac{1000}{1000} = 125/1000

Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 125, to get your simplified fraction.

125/125 = 1

1000/125 = 8

125/1000 = 1/8

Bryce intended to swim directly across a stream that is 99 meters wide. But the current caused him to arrive at the opposite sho
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

101 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct path across the stream and perpendicular to both sides of the stream is one leg of a right triangle. The 20 meter distance on the arriving side of the stream is another leg of the right triangle. The path he actually took is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

leg 1 = 99 m

leg 2 = 20 m

hypotenuse = ?

We have a right triangle, and we know the lengths of the two legs. We need to find the length of the hypotenuse, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

99^2 + 20^2 = c^2

9801 + 400 = c^2

c^2 = 10201

c = sqrt(10201) = 101

Answer: 101 meters

You have 4 one-dollar bills and 4 five-dollar bills in your piggy bank. You select two bills at random, with replacement. What i
Mkey [24]

The probability that one would have selected 2 five-dollar bills is; 1/4.

<h3>What is the probability you will have selected 2 five-dollar bills?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the piggy bank contains; 4 one-dollar bills and 4 five-dollar bills to make a total of 8 bills.

Hence, provided the probability events are carried out with replacement, the probability to have selected 2 five-dollar bills is;

= 4/8 × 4/8

= 1/4.

How many solutions does the equation −3x−17=−17−3x have?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

an infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

−3x −17 = −17 −3x

left side = right side  TRUE because -3x-17 is the same as -17-3x

we can rearrange  the the equation

−3x −17 +17 = −17 +17−3x, add 17 on both sides of the equations

            -3x = -3x, divide both sides by (-3)

               x = x

Since this equation is <u>always true ( for any number ) </u>we have <u>an infinite number of solutions</u> (since there are is an infinity of numbers.)
