Write 85% as a fraction in simplest form.

Mathematics
1 answer:
pav-90 [236]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

85% can easily be written as 85/100 and this is true, but we have to simplify to the simplest form.

An easy way to simplify is to divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

The GCF of 85 and 100 is 5.

85 ÷ 5 = 17

100 ÷ 5 = 20

We can no longer simplify 17/20 because 17 is prime so your final answer is 17/20!

Hope you have a good day and luck in finding good memes!

Given right triangle QRS, what is the value of sin(30°)? StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 3 EndFraction One-half StartFrac
baherus [9]

Answer:

Option 2: \sin(30)=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

From the triangle shown below;

A triangle QRS with angle QRS = 90°, ∠QSR = 30°.

Side QR = 5, SQ = 10 and RS = 5√3

Now, we know from trigonometric ratio that,

\sin (A) = \frac{Opposite\ side}{Hypotenuse}

Here, opposite side of angle QSR is QR and Hypotenuse is the side opposite angle QRS which is SQ. Therefore,

\sin(\angle QSR)=\dfrac{QR}{SQ}\\\\\\\sin(30)=\dfrac{5}{10}\\\\\\\sin(30)=\dfrac{5}{2\times 5}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, the value of sine of 30° is one-half. So, second option is correct.

Alon and his friend Marna own a chimney sweep service company. Working together, they can clean a 20-foot chimney in 1 Five-seve
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by Kalon = 4 hours

Time taken by Marna =?

Time taken if the work together = 1 5/7 hours

Kalon's rate = 1/ time =. 1/4

Kalon + Marna = 1 ÷ 1 5/7 = 7/12

Hence,

Marna's rate = 7/12 - 1/4

Marna's Rate = (7 - 3) / 12 = 4/12 = 1/3

Marna's rate = 1/3

Hence, time it takes Marna = reciprocal of rate = 1÷ 1/3 = 1 * 3/1 = 3 hours

Coach purchased footballs and basketballs from two different stores.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

  • $6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let football cost be f and basketball cost be b

<u>We have two equations as per given:</u>

  • 5f + 14b = 110
  • 10f + 6b = 82.50

We need to find b, therefore we'll eliminate f

<u>To do so we'll double the first equation and subtract the second one:</u>

  • 2(5f + 14b) - (10f + 6b) = 2(110) - 82.50
  • 28b - 6b = 220 - 82.50
  • 22b = 137.5
  • b = 137.5/22
  • b = 6.25

Each basketball costs $6.25
