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

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

(1)The value of x is -9 .

Option (B) is correct .

(2)The value of x is 13 .

Option (A) is correct .

(3)The value of the x is 11 .

Option (D) is correct .

(4) The value of the x is -15 .

Option (A) is correct .

(5)The value of the x is -11 .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

First Part

As given

4x = -36

$x = \frac{-36}{4}$

x = -9

Therefore the value of x is -9 .

Option (B) is correct .

Second Part

As given

5x - 15 = 50

5x = 50 + 15gg

5x = 65

$x = \frac{65}{5}$

x = 13

Therefore the value of x is 13 .

Option (A) is correct .

As given

4(x+2)-17=35

4x + 8 - 17 = 35

4x = 35 + 17 - 8

4x = 44

$x = \frac{44}{4}$

x = 11

Therefore the value of the x is 11 .

Option (D) is correct .

Fourth Part

As given

6x+12=4x-18

6x-4x = -12-18

2x = -30

$x = \frac{-30}{2}$

x = -15

Therefore the value of the x is -15 .

Option (A) is correct .

Fifth Part

As given

$\frac{1}{2}(4x-10)+5=x-11$

Simplify the above

4x-10+5×2 = 2x-22

4x-10+10= 2x-22

4x-2x = -22

2x=-22

$x = \frac{-22}{2}$

x = -11

Therefore the value of the x is -11 .

Option (C) is correct .

Darla drives at a constant speed of 45 miles per hour. If she drives for y miles and it takes her x hours, write the two-variabl

Darya [45]

Answer:

y = 45x miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. Mathematically,

speed = distance/time

Given that Darla travels at a constant speed of 45 miles per hour and for y miles, it takes her x hours then

45 = y/x

multiply both sides by x

45x = y

then the number of miles (y) Darla can drive in x hours

y = 45x (in miles)

Please help on this. I am confused.

neonofarm [45]

The answer is 2x^2-3x-2.

To solve this, you take f(x)-g(x) which is 2x^2-5-3x+3. This simplifies to 2x^2-3x-2.

If 1800ml of a juice drink is 15% grape juice, how much grape juice should be added to make a drink that is 20% grape juice?

Svetach [21]

Answer:

112.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of grape juice to add. Then the total amount of grape juice in the mix is ...

0.15(1800) +x = 0.20(1800+x)

270 +x = 360 + 0.2x . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

0.8x = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 270+0.2x

x = 90/0.8 = 112.5 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

112 mL of grape juice should be added to make a mix that is 20% grape juice.
