<span> You must make it a fraction by multiplying by 100, moving the decimal over by 2 spaces right so we have 36. Then, put it over 100, because it is a fraction. Now, with 36/100 we must simplify by dividing each number by another # that goes into it evenly, such as 2. We get 18/50, reduce by 2, we get 9/25. There you go hope I helped </span>
Answer:
<u>3.5 meters</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1 meter = 100 centimeters
multiply both sides by 3.5 because we are trying to get 350 cm in meters.
1 x 3.5 meters = 100 x 3.5 centimeters
<u>3.5 meters </u>= 350 centimeters
We can write an equation of this, with p representing the unknown population. We know that 90% of the population owns cars:
90% * p
We also know that 4761 people own cars, which is the same as the above expression, so we write:
90% * p = 4761.
From there, you just divide both sides by 90%, or 0.9
p = 4761/0.9 = 5290
The population is 5290 people.
