Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of 570 = 57 (dividing by 10). Times that by 3, which is 171. Now divide 171 by 3, equals 57 (the answer).

Six fifths of what number is 60?

Crazy boy [7]

<h3>Hey Buddy,</h3>

<h3>Answer :-</h3>

Answer is 72 .

<h3><u>Explanation :-</u></h3>

$\frac{6}{5} \: of \: what \: number \: is \: 60 \:$

You probably , Know that the number above the fraction line is called the numerator and the number below it is called the denominator. To work out the fraction of any number, we first need to convert that whole number into a fraction as well .

• Any number can be converted to fraction if you use 1 as the denominator:

$\frac{60}{1}$

• So now that we've converted 60 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 6/5 side by side with our new fraction, 60/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.

• convert the whole number to a fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators.

$\frac{6 \times 60}{5 \times 1} = \frac{360}{5}$

• Our new fraction can actually be simplified down further. To do that, we need to find the greatest common factor of both numbers.

• You can use our handy GCF calculator to work this out yourself if you want to. We already did that , And the GCF of 360 and 5 is 5.

• We can now divide both the new numerator and the denominator by 5 to simplify this fraction down to its lowest terms.

$\frac{360}{5} = 72$

$\frac{5}{5} = 1$

• When we put that together, we can see that our complete answer is :-

$\frac{72}{1}$

<h3> Hence ,the complete and simplified answer to the question what is 6/5 of 60 is :- 72 .</h3>

Solve the following quadratic function

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

x = ± 10

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve the equation let y = 0 , that is

100 - x² = 0 ( add x² to both sides )

100 = x² ( take square root of both sides )

± $\sqrt{100}$ = x , that is

x = ± 10

The product of two consecutive negative even integers is 24. Find the largest integer.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

ok negative times negative = positive

and factors of 24 are

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

4 x 6 are the two consecutive EVEN numbers

so turn it to negative

-4 x -6 = 24

The largest is -4

Why is division not commutative

Kamila [148]

Division CANNOT be commutative, here is why

lets say the problem is 24÷4

it is obviously 6

but when you flip 24÷4, you get 4÷24

and... 4÷24 is 0.16666666

6 and 0.1666 is totally different :p

If 12,025 was invested at 3.25% compounded monthly 3 years, how much interest will be earned

wariber [46]

Answer:

$1,229.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, change 3.25% into a decimal:

3.25% -> $\frac{3.25}{100}$ -> 0.0325

Since the interest is compounded monthly, we will use 12 for n. Lets plug in the values now:

$A=12,025(1+\frac{0.0325}{12})^{12(3)}$

$A=13,254.75$

Lastly, subtract A from P to get the interest earned:

$13,254.75 - 12,025 = 1,229.75$
