Decimal =
0.875

Explanation:
The answer that has already been given is perfect in and by itself. I just want to give you some methods for doing these type of questions so that you won't stagger when you see these type of questions in exams (like the SAT).
Whenever you see such questions, remember the following things. These are conversions of English words to Mathematical tools.
What
=
Any variable like
x

Percent / Percentage / %
=
Divide by 100
of
=
Multiply
is
=
Put an equal to (
=
) sign
I'll give you an example through a question.
What percent of 200 is 5?
Ans: Replace English words by mathematical tools according to the rules I told you.
x
( What) /100 ( percent)
×
( of) 200
=
( is) 5
In a refined form,
x
100
×
200
=
5

Calculate x. On calculating, x comes out to be
2.5

So, 2.5 percent of 200 is 5.
Now your question is actually very simple if you follow my rules.
You want 87.5%. By the rules, % means divided by 100. So
87.5
%
=
87.5
100
and now using the same strategy, Ans:
875
1000

Disregard the next section if you know how to convert a decimal to a fraction
Section Starts
First, I'll write the decimal form. Whenever you divide by a number that is in form of 1 followed by
n
number of zeroes. (here 1 is followed by 2 zeroes), you should shift the decimal point to the left side by n places.
In this case, shift decimal point in 87.5 to the left by 2 places. So this becomes 0.875.
This is the answer in decimal point.
Now simultaneously, I'll teach you how to convert a decimal into a fraction.
Here, you see 2 types of "numbers". One to the left side of the decimal point and one to the right side of the decimal point.
Here, left side of decimal point is 0 and right side of decimal point is 875.
Count the number of digits in the number to the right side of the decimal point (Here, the number of digits is 3)
Remove the decimal point and divide the number by a number formed by 1 followed by the "digits" we obtained (i.e. 3).
So, 875/1000. Simplify this, and you get your answer.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

14.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is area=length*width

so we can substitute the numbers here, 262.8=18w

divide 262.8 by 18 to isolate the variable.

You get 14.6.

The width is 14.6.

If L=√(x^2+y^2), dx/dt =-4, dy/dt=3, find dL/dt when x=4 and y=3
yulyashka [42]

Hello,

L=\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-4\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3\\\\x=4, y=3\\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x} =\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y} =\dfrac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{dL}{dt} =\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x}*\dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y}*\dfrac{dy}{dt}\\\\=-4*\frac{-4}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}} +3*\frac{3}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{5} +\dfrac{9}{5} \\\\=5\\

I don't get the subject of congruent triangles. How do I figure out if there's not enough information to know if it is congruent
babymother [125]

Answer:

Okay, there are many ways to find if a triangle is congruent.

Let's start with some different terminology.

For the sake of simplicity let us say that S stands for when a side is congruent for both triangles and A stands for when an angle (<) is congruent between both the triangles as well.

So, you need to memorize some rules. If you find that 2 triangles are congruent in the sense of; SSS, SAS, AAS, SAA, and ASA. One thing to remember is that Angle Side Side isn't congruent and is called <em>Donkey Theorem</em>. This theorem only works for right triangles.

One way to know if your triangle isn't congruent is if you can find a part of the triangle that is different.

I know that wasn't the best explanation but I hope it helped anyhow. :)
