You have to subtract 5/4 by 2/3 but in order to do that you must find a common denominator or least common multiple so the least common denominator of 4 and 3 is 12 so you have to multiply 4 by 3 and three by 4 to make both denominators 12 but you have to do the same thing on the top as you did the bottom so:
5/4*3= 15/12 and 2/3*4=8/12
Then 15/12-8/12 is 7/12 so Jim has to run 7/12 more
Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:
Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375
Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".
====================================
Your question says
"37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".
Translate it with your tools:
0.375 times blank = 36 .
Divide each side by 0.375: Blank = 36 / 0.375 .
Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.
To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):
Do exactly what the question says.
Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of employees in 9 years
= 870 * (1 - 0.02)⁹
= 870 * (0.98)⁹
≈ 725 employees.
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Volume of cube = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
83.74 = 1/3 x 3.14 x r^2 x 5 = 5.233r^2
r^2 = 83.74/5.233 = 16
r = sqrt(16) = 4
Therefore, d = 2(4) = 8 inches.
