By moving the decimal point two spaces to the left, the number becomes a number between one and ten
the answer is 6.56 times 10^2
Answer:
<h2><u>
5,400</u></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Out of every 20 students, there are 9 that gain admission to s.h.s.
Overall, there are 12,000 students. To find how many groups of 20 students there are, we divide 12,000 by 20. We get 600.
Since there are 9/20 students, we multiply 600 * 9. We get 5,400.
So, out of the 12,000 students, 5,400 gained admission.
Hope this helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
look at the photo...............
<em><u>4 pints of strawberries and 2 pints of blueberries are bought</u></em>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the pints of strawberries bought
Let "b" be the pints of blueberries cost
Cost per pint of strawberry = $ 1.60
Cost per pint of blueberry = $ 2.30
<em><u>A shopper bought twice as many pints of strawberries as pints of blueberries</u></em>
Therefore,
a = 2b --------- eqn 1
<em><u>They spent a total of $11.00. Therefore we frame a equation as:</u></em>
pints of strawberries bought x Cost per pint of strawberry + pints of blueberries cost x Cost per pint of blueberry = 11

1.6a + 2.3b = 11 --------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>
1.6(2b) + 2.3b = 11
3.2b + 2.3b = 11
5.5b = 11
Divide both sides by 11
b = 2
<em><u>Substitute b = 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
a = 2(2)
a = 4
Thus 4 pints of strawberries and 2 pints of blueberries are bought
