Answer:

  • 2 places
  • to the left
  • 0.49

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be useful to consider the percent symbol (%) as a shorthand way to write /100. That is, where you see %, /100 is completely equivalent.

  49% = 49/100

If you recognize that 1/100 (one hundredth) is 0.01 in decimal (one hundredth), then you can see that 49/100 = 49×0.01 = 0.49.

__

A lot of folks consider the % symbol to be separate from the number, just as units of degrees or hours or inches might be. So, they tell you to do the conversion by moving the decimal point on the % value 2 places to the left (and drop the % symbol):

  49% = 49.% = .49

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

As you can tell, I think of the % symbol as part of the number 49%, just as /100 is part of the number 49/100. Forty-nine hundredths can be written as any of 49/100 or 0.49 or 49%.

Lots of Points!! HELP!! There are 1200 students at Sophie’s school. One student’s name will be drawn at random to win a new bike
Vsevolod [243]

The sample space would be the number of students, so 1200.


The outcome the compose the event would be drawing one name at random.


The probability of Sophia winning would be 1 out of 1200, as a fraction: 1/1200, as a decimal: 0.00083


Because there is 1200 students, the probablity would be unlikely, since the sample is a large number.

a diver is swimming at -10 m. He then descends 3m and rises 6m. At what new level is the diver swimming?
iVinArrow [24]
So we start at -10. Because he descends 3 feet, We subtract 3, getting -13. He then rises 6 feet. -13 + 6 = -7. The diver is now at -7 feet.

The edge length of a cube is 3.5 inches. Find the surface area of the cube.
Nataliya [291]
A cube has all sides the same length, check the picture below.

since the cube is just 6 squares stacked up to each other at the edges, we can simply get the area of each square and sum them up, and that's the surface area of the cube.

(3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) .
