Answer:

$10.83

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 40 = 60

60% = 6.50

divide both sides by 60 to find 1%

1% = 0.10833333

Multiply both sides by 100 to find 100%

100% = 10.83 to the nearest cent.

Kimane and a friend picked apples. Kimane picked 4 2/3 and his friend picked 5 5/6 pounds. About how many pound of apples do the

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

$9\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find many more pounds of apples Kimane and his friend needs to get, we first need to find out how many pounds of apples they picked together.

Kimane = $4\dfrac{2}{3}$

Friend = $5\dfrac{5}{6}$

We add them together to find out how many pounds of apples they currently have.

Total Pounds = $4\dfrac{2}{3}+5\dfrac{5}{6}$

Just to make the equation clearer, we separate the whole numbers from the fractions.

$=4+5+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

Now since we cannot add the 2 fractions directly since they have different denominators, we need to convert the $/dfrac{2}{3}$ into a fraction with the same denominator.

We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to have the same denominator.

$\dfrac{2*2}{3*2}=\dfrac{4}{6}$

So now we have:

$=9+\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{9}{6}or1\dfrac{1}{2}$

$Total Pounds = 10\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now that we know how many pounds Kimane and his friend collected, we simply subtract 20 and the total amount Kimane and his friend had already collected.

$20-10\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=9\dfrac{1}{2}$

So Kimane and his friend still need to get $9\dfrac{1}{2}$ more pounds of apples to get 20 pounds of apples.

A painting measures 2.4 feet from left to right. It’s hung in the center of a rectangular wall measuring 20 feet from left to ri

julsineya [31]

Since the painting is hung in center of a rectangular wall ,the distance between them on either side will be the same.so we can divide the length of the painting and wall by 2.we will get 2.4/2=1.2 feet and 20/2=10 feet .10-1.2=8.8 feet gives the distance between the right edge of the painting and right edge of the wall
