Answer:

After the 6th day, beginning with the 7th day, he is walking less than 0.5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a percent of a number, change the percent to a decimal and multiply by the number. To find 90% of a number, change 90% to a decimal and multiply by the number.

90% = 0.9

He first walks 1 km. The next day, he walks 90% of 1 km. To find 90% of 1 km, multiply 0.9 by 1 km. It is 0.9 km. For the next day, he walks 90% of 0.9 km, which is 0.9 * 0.9 km = 0.81 km. To find how much he walks each day, multiply what he walked on the previous day by 0.9.

Now you can find out how much he walks each day until you see he walks less than 0.5 km.

Day 1: 1 km

Day 2: 1 km * 0.9 = 0.9 km

Day 3: 0.9 km * 0.9 = 0.81 km

Day 4: 0.81 km * 0.9 = 0.729 km

Day 4: 0.729 km * 0.9 = 0.6561

Day 5: 0.6561 km * 0.9 = 0.59049 km

Day 6: 0.59049 km * 0.9 = 0.531441 km

Day 7: 0.531441 km * 0.9 = 0.4782969 km

On the 6th day, he is still walking more than 0.5 km, but by the 7th day, he is walking less than 0.5 km.

Answer: After the 6th day, beginning with the 7th day, he is walking less than 0.5 km.

(a) A survey of the adults in a town shows that 8% have liver problems. Of these, it is also found that 25% are heavy drinkers,
jekas [21]

Answer:

The probability that the selected adult has liver problems is 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, from the data given, we want to calculate the probability that an adult selected at random has liver problems.

Let E(L) be the event that an adult has liver problems.

The probability is directly obtainable from the question and it is given as 8%

Thus, the probability that the selected adult has liver problems; P(L) = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08
