Convert fraction to a decimal 3/8

1 answer:

5 0

In order to convert a fraction into a decimal, you can do one of two ways. I'll do the manual way, first since that's probably what your teacher would prefer.

First, find something that will multiply in the denominator that will equal 10,100,1000.

In this case, it will be 1,000.

1,000 ÷ 8 = 125.

So, you will multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 125.

3 x 1,000 = 375

8 x 125 = 1,000

Now, you have a BIG fraction of 375/1,000 but it's OKAY! Why? You're almost done.

Take your numerator of 375. Since your denominator has 3 zeros in it, you'll be moving your decimal 3 places to the right (from the imaginary decimal in front of the 3). So, we'll have 0.375.

So, your decimal of 3/8 is 0.375.

____________________________________________________

Now, for the easiest way!

You will simply divide 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Find the equation of the line that goes through (-8,11) and is perpendicular to x= - 15. Write the equation in the form x = a, y

galben [10]

Answer:

y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 11) and is perpendicular to x=-15

If a line is perpendicular to another line, it means that the slopes of those lines are negative and reciprocal; in other words, the product of the slopes is equal to -1

The line x=-15 has an undefined slope, which we can represent as 1/0, which is also undefined.

To find the slope of the line perpendicular to x=-15, we can use this equation (m is the slope):

$m_1*m_2=-1$

$m_1$ in this instance would be 1/0, so we can substitute it into the equation:

$\frac{1}{0} *m_2=-1$

Multiply both sides by 0

$m_2=0$

So the slope of the new line is 0

We can substitute it into the equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept:

y=0x+b

Now we need to find b:

Since the equation passes through the point (-8,11), we can use its values to solve for b.

Substitute -8 as x and 11 as y:

11=0(-8)+b

Multiply

11=0+b, or 11=b

So substitute into the equation:

y=0x+11

We can also write the equation as y=11

Hope this helps!

The fruity snack company is packaging fruit loop cereal in small snack bags each snack is to weigh 30 grams with a tolerance of

katrin [286]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

|w -30| > 1.6
(-∞, 28.4) U (31.6, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The snack bags will be rejected if their weight differs from 30 grams by more than 1.6 grams:

|w -30| > 1.6

2. This inequality resolves to two inequalities.

w -30 > 1.6

w > 31.6 . . . . . add 30

and

-(w -30) > 1.6

w -30 < -1.6 . . . multiply by -1

w < 28.4 . . . . . add 30

The solution in interval notation is the union of the two disjoint intervals:

(-∞, 28.4) U (31.6, ∞)
