Answer:
a>-2
Step-by-step explanation:
7) Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
2.18 = 2.18 / 1
Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 3 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 3 10's
Numerator (N)
N = 2.18 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 2180
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
N / D = 2180 / 1000
Simplifying our fraction
= 2180/1000
= 109/50
= 2 9/50
8)
75, because 300 (5100-4800) divided by 4 ( 2007-2011) is 75. The towns population decreased at a constant rate of 75.

Answer:
₹1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent the marked price. After the discount, the price is 0.80m. After the tax is added, the price is (0.80m)(1.13). This value is Rs 904, so the marked price is ...
(0.80m)(1.3) = ₹904
m = ₹904/(0.80×1.13) = ₹904/0.904
m ≈ ₹1000
The marked price of the watch is ₹1000.
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
