Our current equation is:
2.5x -3.67 = 1.52.
To solve for x, we need to get x by itself and then simplify what we can from there.
2.5x -3.67 = 1.52
Add 3.67 to both sides to get 2.5x by itself.
2.5x = 5.19 is now our new equation.
Divide both sides by 2.5 to get x.
5.19/2.5 = 2.07
x = 2.07
I hope this helps!
Do you want 5 and 6 or just 5? 5 is kind of neat.
44.5% = 0.445
4/9 = 0.4444444
You have enough information to put the numbers in order.
0.44 is the smallest number.
0.44444444.... is the next smallest number
0.4445 is bigger than the number above. 5 is in the ten thousandths place. that is bigger than 4 in the thousands place of 4/9
Finally the largest number of all is 0.445 for the same reason given above.
Six
5/12 = 0.416666
0.4
42% = 42/100 = 0.42
0.416
0.4 is the smallest number
0.416 is the next smallest number
0.41666666 is bigger than 0.416 because you are adding a bunch of 6s onto the decimal place.
The largest one is 0.42. You can put these into your calculator to verify the results. For example, 0.42 - 0.4166666 = 0.003344. Any result more than 0 will show that the first number is bigger than the second.
Independent events. Someone does not have to buy popcorn to buy a drink and someone does not have to buy a drink to buy popcorn.
There are 14 nickels and 7 dimes.
(You can check by multiplying 14 by 5 for nickels and 7 times 10 for dimes. This would add up to 1.35)
So we know there are 5 red and 12 silver marbles, together making 16 marbles.
This would mean that there is a 5/17 chance of choosing a red marble.
When you do the math to convert 5/17 into a decimal, it turns into being a .29 chance.
Convert .29 into a decimal, and you know that you have a 29% chance of grabbing a red marble.
Hope this helped!
