<span>To convert a percentage to a decimal divide by 100: 0.4% = 0.4 ÷ 100 = 0.004
</span><span>0.04</span>
If you move the decimal point left until it is just to the right of the most-significant digit, the number of places you moved it is the power of ten that your new number is multiplied by.
Then multiplication can proceed in the usual way, taking into account the rules of exponents.
Arrowheads indicate that the line will continue traveling on a number line infinitely. In other words the line never ends.
Answer:
14 chaperones, 49 students
Step-by-step explanation:
You add two equations together to eliminate a variable. This particular problem is nice, because it's already setup to eliminate X.
3x - 4y = 9
<span>-3x + 2y = 9
</span>
When we add these two together, 3x - 3x cancels each other out, leaving us with 0x, or nothing.
We continue with -4y + 2y (leaves us with -2y) and 9+9 (18).
-2y = 18
18/-2 = -9.
Now we have y = -9, and we can go back into the problems to solve for x.
<span>3x - 4(-9) = 9
</span>
3x + 36 = 9.
3x = -27
x = -9.
Confirm with the final equation:
-3(-9) + 2(-9) = 9
27 - 18 = 9
9 = 9 --- Confirmed.
