The number 0.35 is one thousandth of what number?

Anni [7]

Answer:

0.35 is one thousandth of 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number

we know that

The number multiplied by one thousandth must be equal to 0.35

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$(\frac{1}{1,000})x=0.35$

solve for x

Multiply both sides by 1,000

$1,000(\frac{1}{1,000})x=1,000(0.35)\\\\x=350$

therefore

0.35 is one thousandth of 350

Which expressions are equivalent to 2 (three-fourths x + 7) minus 3 (one-half x minus 5)? Check all that apply.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x+(-5))$

$2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x)+(-3)(-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The original expression given in the text is

$2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)-3(\frac{1}{2}x-5)$ (1)

And we want to check to what other expressions is equivalent. First of all, we solve it by writing explicitely each term:

$\frac{3}{2}x+14-\frac{3}{2}x+15$ (2)

Let's verify each of the other expressions separately. For the first one:

$2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x+(-5))$

We see that this is equivalent to expression (1), since the first half is identical, while in the second one, the combination "+-" can be simply written as "-", so we get

$2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)-3(\frac{1}{2}x-5)$

Which is equivalent to (1).

For the 2nd one:

$2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+3(\frac{1}{2}x)+3(-5)$

This is not equivalent. In fact, here we have applied the distributive property to each term: however, the 3rd and 4th term are not correct, because the (3) must be negative (-3), as in the original expression.

If we write it explicitely in fact, we get

$\frac{3}{2}x+14+\frac{3}{2}x-15$
