I really dont understant your question. but you are right that negative 8 that it would be minus. <span>In </span>mathematics<span>, a </span>negative<span> number is a real number that is less than zero. </span>Negative<span> numbers represent opposites. If positive represents movement to the right, </span>negative<span> represents movement to the left.</span>
Amount of tax on the book (s) is $0.72
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given 6/100 = s/12
- Step 2: Cross multiply to solve for s
⇒ 6 × 12 = 100 × s
⇒ 72 = 100s
⇒ s = 72/100 = 0.72
Among all these no., see the first no. that lies before or left side of decimal point, here... 2 is common so next check the no. After decimal...
2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2 is considered as 2.0 and then we have 2.0...
Let's not take 2.0s and let's take 2.2 and 2.4 which is greater than 2.0.
Next see the second no. That comes after decimal
We have 2.24 and 2.4 which can be taken as 2.40... The no.s after decimal,
24 is greater than 40 so 2.4 is greater...
The answers are:
__________________________
[B]: "√12 " ; AND:
__________________________
[D]: "<span>√20" .
__________________________
Note: "Irrational numbers" have decimals that are: 1) non-terminating; AND: 2) non-repeating.
__________________________
Consider the answer choices given; and consider the given information that there "should be no more than one answer.
__________________________________
Consider the following answer choices:
__________________________________
Choice A) "</span><span>√9" = 3 . Rule out this choice.
__________________________________
Choice C) "</span><span>√16" = 4 . Rule out this choice.
__________________________________
Choice E) "</span><span>√25" = 5. Rule out this choice.
_________________________________
We are left with 2 (two) remaining answer choices:
[B]: "</span>√12" ; and: [D]: "<span>√20" .
_________________________________
If there are more than one answer, then these two choices should be the correct answer. However, let us explore these two choices, using a calculator.
____________________________
[B]: </span>"√12" = 3.4641016151377546
[D]: "√20" = 4.4721359549995794
_________________________________
These two answer choices should the correct answers.
Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- Given inequality: 12p < 96
<u>Dividing both sides by 12:</u>
- 12p < 96
- => 12p/12 < 96/12
- => p < 8
Correct option is A.
