Whenever we divide a certain number by 10 or 100 or 1000... the decimal point of the number always moves to your left hand side.

for example: 25 or 25.00 is a number that has its decimal point after 5.

suppose we divide it by 10, the decimal point point moves as number of times as the number of zeros in the divisor. here, 10 has 1 zero. isn't it?

hence, decimal point moves 1 time or once to the left

2.500 or simply 2.5

on writing a percent as decimal.. 

we always have the divisor as 100.

number of zeros in 100 : 2

hence point moves 2 times or twice to the left.

25 / 100  =  .25 or 0.25

on re-writing 0.25 as fraction, count the number of digits right to the point. it is 2 here.

hence there would be two zeros as well,i.e, 100

hence , 0.25 = 25/100

hope it helps you! :)

21 poppyseed muffins. Let’s say that poppyseed muffins = x and blueberry muffins also = x but + 14 more would be
x + 14. So to solve x + x + 14 = 56
Simplifies to x=21 and 21 + 14 = 35 both combined equals 56.

Sam wants to buy 8 pencils and 6 pens, which cost a total of $8.50. He realizes he doesn't have enough cash and instead takes on
Brums [2.3K]
Let x be the price of each pen and y be the price of each pencil. From the given, the equations that are described are,
                            6x + 8y = 8.50
                             4x + 4y = 5
Solving for x and y simultaneously gives an answer of x = 0.75 and y = 0.5. 

Thus, each pen costs $0.75 and each pencil costs $0.50.

What is the rate of change?<br> X<br> у<br> 0<br> 4<br> 1.<br> 4.<br> 2.<br> 4.
satela [25.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The average rate of change between two input values is the total change of the function values (output values) divided by the change in the input values  

The calculation for ROC is simple in that it takes the current value of a stock or index and divides it by the value from an earlier period. Subtract one and multiply the resulting number by 100 to give it a percentage representation.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Answer:

  (9/10)/(2/5) = ratio of work times

  2 1/4 times as long

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  2/5 hours work in the morning

  9/10 hours work in the afternoon

<u>Find</u>:

  an equation for how many times as long was afternoon work compared to morning work

  the equation solution

<u>Solution</u>:

  a/m = r . . . . ratio of afternoon work to morning work

  (9/10)/(2/5) = r . . . equation

  (9/10)/(4/10) = r

  9/4 = r = 2 1/4 . . . solution

The builder worked 2 1/4 times as long in the afternoon as in the morning.
