Convert the mixed number 2 1/4 into an improper fraction: 9/4.
Then multiply this 9/4 by 3: 27/4, or 6 3/4.
Answer:
63 vehicles are not white
Step-by-step explanation:
Well you know that there are 175 total vehicles, and that 64% of those vehicles are white. Therefore the remaining percentage of vehicles must not be white.
100%-64%=36%
This means that 36% of the vehicles aren't white.
Now you must find what 36% of 175 is. The word "of" always signals for multiplication, which is exactly what you need to do here. First start by converting the percentage into decimal form:
36%=0.36
Now you can multiply
175 x 0.36 = 63
63 Vehicles are not white
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
