What is 12 1/2% of 256

Mathematics

To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!

Write the expression using rational exponents. Then simplify and convert back to radical notation.
ioda

Answer:

The radical notation is 3x\sqrt[3]{y^2z}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt[3]{27 x^{3} y^{2} z}

Step 1 of 1

Write the expression using rational exponents.

\sqrt[n]{a^{m}}=\left(a^{m}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}

=a^{\frac{m}{n}}:\left({27 x^{3} y^{2} z})^{\frac{1}{3}}

$(a \cdot b)^{r}=a^{r} \cdot b^{r}:(27)^{\frac{1}{3}}\left(x^{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \cdot\left(y^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \cdot(z)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

=$(3^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}\left(x^{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \cdot\left(y^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \cdot(z)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$=\left(3\right)\left(x}\right)} \cdot\left(y}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot(z)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$=3x \cdot(y)^{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot(z)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Simplify $3 x \cdot(y)^{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot(z)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$=3 x \sqrt[3]{y^{2} z}$

What exponential function is the best fit for the data in the table?
gogolik [260]
Answer: fourth option

\frac{1}{4} 4^{x-1}-4

Explanation:

1) the pair x = 3 f(x) = 0, leads you to probe this:

f(3) = 0 = A [4 ^ (3 - 1) ] + C = 0

=> A [4^2] = - C

A[16] = - C

if A = 1/4

16 / 4 = 4 => C = - 4

That leads you to the function f(x) = [1/4] 4 ^( x - 1) - 4

2) Now you verify the images for that function for all the x-values of the table:

x = 2 => f(2) + [1/4] 4 ^ (2 - 1) - 4 = [1/4] 4 - 4 = 4 / 4 - 4 = 1 - 4 = - 3 => check

x = 3 => f(3) = [1/4] 4^ (3 - 1) - 4 = [1/4] 4^2 - 4 = 16 / 4 - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0 => check

x = 4 -> f(4) = [1/4] 4^ (4-1) - 4 = [1/4] 4^(3) - 4 = (4^3) / 4 - 4 = 4^2 - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 => check.

Therefore, you have proved that the answer is the fourth option.
