50%. If you divide 28 by 14, (14/28), you’d get 0.5. Move the decimal place two places to the right, and that’s 50% :)
I think that (1/4)x+8 would be your algebraic expression.
Complete question :
Hayley is buying herbs. She wants to buy 5/6 ounce of basil. The scale she is using to weigh the basil displays the weight as a decimal. How will she know when the display on the scale is correct to the tenths place? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the fractional expression of weight in decimal form:
5/ 6 ounce of bassil is converted into decimal :
5 / 6 = 0.8333
Hence, for a fraction of 5 /6, we obtain;
5/6 = 0.8333
To the nearest tenth :
0.8
Answer:
(y+10)/5
Step-by-step explanation:
You start off by adding 10 on both sides cancelling the 10 on the right side and you get y+10=5x. From there you then divide by 5 on both sides and you get your answer of (y+10)/5.
8(x - 6) = 4x
Distribute.
8x - 48 = 4x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
8x -8x - 48 =4x -8x
Now you have...
-48 = -4x
Divide -4 by both sides.
-48/-4 = -4x/-4
12 = x
The number is 12.
