- I’m assuming the expression implies the following:
(1-n)/(n^2 - 1)
The steps goes as follows:
= -(n-1)/(n^2-1) (factored a negative out)
= -(n-1)/[(n+1)(n-1)] (Factored denominator into a difference of squares, but don’t just blindly accept the fact, expand it and you should get the original denominator)
At this point, the (n-1) terms cancel, as you should know: a real number, besides 0, over itself is 1.
= -1/(n+1) , which is the answer
Note: You could also see it as 1/-(n+1) or 1/(-n-1)
Percent formula : is/of = %/100
18 is what percent of 20...
is = 18
of = 20
% = x
sub and solve
18/20 = x/100
cross multiply
(20)(x) = (100)(18)
20x = 1800
x = 1800/20
x = 90 <=== so 18 is 90% of 20

The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter of a tire is 2.5 ft. a. Find the circumference of the tire. b. About how many times will the tire have to rotate to travel 1 mile?
Solution:
a) The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle. The circumference of the circle is the distance around a circle, that is the arc length of the circle. The circumference of a circle is given by:
Circumference = 2π × radius; but diameter = 2 × radius. Hence:
Circumference = π * diameter.
Given that diameter of the tire = 2.5 ft:
Circumference of the tire = π * diameter = 2.5 * π = 7.85 ft
b) since the circumference of the tire is 7.85 ft, it means that 1 revolution of the tire covers a distance of 7.85 ft.
1 mile = 5280 ft
The number of rotation required to cover 1 mile (5280 ft) is:
number of rotation =
