Hey there!
There are 2.20462 pounds in a kilogram
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:
25% is the same as 1/4 of something.
So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.
You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.
If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.
Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:
If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).
That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.
***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***
Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).
So
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:
2+2+2+2 = 8
It checks out!
Hope this helps!
Answer:
5 11/85
Step-by-step explanation:
First see how many times a whole number can be found.
436/85 = 5.1294
The denominator goes into the numerator 5 times.
Now we find a new numerator.
436 - (85 * 5) = 11 (this is the amount left over after we made 5 wholes.)
Now we see 5 11/85
It cannot be simplified further.
Answer:
3/5 + 7/10 = 6/10 + 7/10 = 13/10 = 1 and 3/10 lbs. needed
She has 4/5 *3/1 bags = 12/5 = 2 and 2/5 pounds
2 2/5 - 1 3/10 = 2 4/10 - 1 3/10 = 1 and 1/10 pounds left over
