Answer: 53.1%

----------------------------

Explanation:

The change from 76.1 to 116.5 is 40.4
This means that 40.4 more million people voted in the second year compared to the first

Divide this difference (40.4 million) over the original amount (76.1 million) to get

40.4/76.1 = 0.53088 which converts to 53.088% and that rounds to 53.1%

So first you will need to multiply 9 by 4. You get 36. Now you need to add the 10 percent and you get 39.6! That's the answer!

Answer:

10 posters are .12 and 100 are 1.2 inches 1000 posters are 12 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

.012×10=.12 in

For every 0 in the ten move the decimal back 1.

.012×100=1.2 in

.012×1000=12 in

Steve likes to entertain friends at parties with "wire tricks." Suppose he takes a piece of wire 60 inches long and cuts it into

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) the length of the wire for the circle = $(\frac{60\pi }{\pi+4}) in$

b)the length of the wire for the square = $(\frac{240}{\pi+4}) in$

c) the smallest possible area = 126.02 in² into two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece of wire for the square is y; and another piece of wire for circle is (60-y).

Then; we can say; let the side of the square be b

so 4(b)=y

b= $\frac{y}{4}$

Area of the square which is L² can now be said to be;

$A_S=(\frac{y}{4})^2 = \frac{y^2}{16}$

On the otherhand; let the radius (r) of the circle be;

2πr = 60-y

$r = \frac{60-y}{2\pi }$

Area of the circle which is πr² can now be;

$A_C= \pi (\frac{60-y}{2\pi } )^2$

$=( \frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

Total Area (A);

A = $A_S+A_C$

= $\frac{y^2}{16} +(\frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

For the smallest possible area; $\frac{dA}{dy}=0$

∴ $\frac{2y}{16}+\frac{2(60-y)(-1)}{4\pi}=0$

If we divide through with (2) and each entity move to the opposite side; we have:

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{(60-y)}{2\pi}$

By cross multiplying; we have:

2πy = 480 - 8y

collect like terms

(2π + 8) y = 480

which can be reduced to (π + 4)y = 240 by dividing through with 2

$y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$

∴ since $y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$ , we can determine for the length of the circle ;

60-y can now be;

= $60-\frac{240}{\pi+4}$

= $\frac{(\pi+4)*60-240}{\pi+40}$

= $\frac{60\pi+240-240}{\pi+4}$

= $(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+4})in$

also, the length of wire for the square (y) ; $y= (\frac{240}{\pi+4})in$

The smallest possible area (A) = $\frac{1}{16} (\frac{240}{\pi+4})^2+(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+y})^2(\frac{1}{4\pi})$

= 126.0223095 in²

≅ 126.02 in² ( to two decimal places)
