Answer:

because it is a decimal so it multiplies 100 by the decimal which is a smaller number, almost like how when you divide it becomes a smaller number.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps:)

i'm not sure why that is, but the only thing i can assume is that either your calculator is broken somehow or you are accidentally typing in the wrong numbers.

you might also have forgotten to clear your calculator before attempting to put in 0.12 x 100.

i recommend using an online calculator for the time being if your calculator is faulty/having issues.

The ratio of cups of orange juice concentrate to water in a punch recipe is 2 : 5. If Geoffrey used 20 cups of water, how many c

Hoochie [10]

Answer: 8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cups of orange juice concentrate that he used be represented by x.

Therefore, based on the information, we can form an equation which will be:

2/5 = x/20

Cross multiply

5 × x = 2 × 20

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8

Therefore, he used 8 cups of orange juice concentrate.

(X+2)^2+(y-4)^2=16 what is the radius

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The radius = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

considering the equation

$\left(x+2\right)^2+\left(y-4\right)^2=16$

As the standard form of the circle is

$\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2$

Match the values in this circle to those of the standard form.

The variable $r$ represents the radius of the circle,

$h$ represents the x-offset from the origin, and

$k$ represents the y-offset from origin.

$\mathrm{Rewrite}\:\left(x+2\right)^2+\left(y-4\right)^2=16\:\mathrm{in\:the\:form\:of\:the\:standard\:circle\:equation}$

$\left(x-\left(-2\right)\right)^2+\left(y-4\right)^2=4^2$

$\mathrm{Therefore\:the\:circle\:properties\:are:}$

$\left(h,\:k\right)=\left(-2,\:4\right),\:r=4$

Therefore, the radius = 4
