5.268 • 10 to the power of 13
( the decimal point would have to move 14 times to the left)
The most important part of this question is understanding the words of the problem. The trick lies in the words of the problem. Once the web of words is simplified, the problem becomes very easy. The main thing is converting the words into numbers.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then from the question we get
(x/4) = (x/5) + 1
(x/4) - (x/5) = 1
(5x - 4x)/20 = 1
x/20 = 1
x = 20
So the unknown number is 20
The temperature went down by 12 degrees. (Or you could say it changed by -12 degrees)

- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] sin∅ = opposite over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Identify Variables</u>
Angle = 35°
Opposite Leg = <em>x</em>
Hypotenuse = 20
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [sine]: sin35° = x/20
- Isolate <em>x</em>: 20sin35° = x
- Evaluate: 11.4715 = x
- Rewrite: x = 11.4715
- Round: x ≈ 11.5
