Express 8 1/5% as a mixed number or a fraction

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

41/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we change the 8 and 1/5% to 8.2%

Write the fraction down as a number over one = 8.2/1

Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 1 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10. So,

8.2/1 = (8.2 × 10)

(1 × 10) = 82/10

Reduce the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD (82,10) = 2. So, (82÷2)/(10÷2) = 41/5 when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 82/10 is also equal to 81/5 when expressed as a mixed number.

A person who is 68in tall casts a shadow that is 54in long. At the same moment, a tree casts a shadow that is 18ft long. What is
34kurt

Answer:

<u>22.67 ft</u> is the height of tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of a person is 68 in and casts a shadow that is 54 in long.

At the same point, a tree casts a shadow that is 18 ft long.

Now, to find the height of tree.

Let the height of tree be x.

If height of a person is 68 in he casts a shadow of 54 in.

So, 68 in is equivalent to 54 in.

Thus, x is equivalent to 18 ft.

Now, to get the height of tree by using cross multiplication method:

\frac{68}{54} =\frac{x}{18}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

<em />1224=54x<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 54 we get:</em>

22.67=x

x=22.67\ ft.

Therefore, the height of the tree is 22.67 ft.

How old am I if 500 reduced by 2 times my age is 388
Nimfa-mama [501]
Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
a=age

500 reduced by 2 times a is equal to 388

500-2a=388
minus 500 both sides
-2a=-112
divide both sides by -2
a=56

you are 56
