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! :)

Solve each inequality.<br> X+5 &lt; 6 <br> Pls help
agasfer [191]

Answer:

x<1

Step-by-step explanation:

You would just subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. The sign does not flip because you are not multiplying or dividing any negative number across the sign.  So simply x+5 (-5) < 6 (-5). On the left side the 5 would cancel out.  on the other side 6-5 is equal to 1.

Answer:  x<1

Hodel just got her driver's license. Her parents offer her two options. 1. They'll buy her a used car that will cost her $0.50 p
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The second option will cost her less than the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will create two functions to represent the cost of the car in function of the miles drove by her.

For the first option we have:

cost_1(x) = 0.5*x

For the second option we have:

cost_2(x) = 5000 + 0.1*x

Since she intends to drive it for 10,000 miles per year for 6 years, then the total mileage she intends to drive her car is 60,000 miles. Applying this to the formula of each car and we have:

cost_1(60000) = 0.5*60000 = 30000

cost_2(60000) = 5000 + 60000*0.1 = 11000

The second option will cost her less than the first one.
