4.29 + 97.2 + 0.687 = 102.177
In adding decimal numbers, make sure that the decimal points are aligned. Since each number has different counts of numbers after the decimal point, use 0 to pad the missing places.
4.290
97.200
<u> 0.687
</u> 102.177
The count of numbers after the decimal point is the same count of number of the decimal who has the greatest count of number after the decimal point.
4.29 only has 2 counts of places after the decimal point
97.2 only has 1 count of place after the decimal point
0.687 has 3 counts of places after the decimal point.
The sum of the decimals must also have 3 counts of places after the decimal point.
The air force plane travelled for a total of 6.9 hours.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given, An Air Force plane left Nairobi and flew west at an average speed of 159 mph. A cargo plane left sometime later flying in the same direction at an average speed of 207 mph. After flying for 5.3 hours the cargo plane caught up with the Air Force plane.
We have to find the number of hours the Air Force plane flew before the cargo plane caught up.
Now, we know that,
For air force plane
Now, when cargo plane caught the air force plane the distance travelled by the planes will be equal.
So,
Time taken by air force plane = 6.9 hrs
The next two numbers are 60 and 600. The pattern is to multiply the number by 10.
Hope that helped.
We know that
if <span>Allison can complete a sales route by herself in 6 hours
then
100% of the sales route---------------> 6 hours
x%--------------------------> 1 hour
x=100/6-----> x=16.67%/hour
Allison </span><span>working with an associate, she completes the route in 4 hours
</span>then
100%------------------> 4 hours
x%----------------> 1 hour
x=100/4-----> x=25%
An associate in 1 hour complete-------> 25%-16.67%----> 8.33%
then
an associate complete in 1 hour--------> 8.33%
x hour--------------------------> 100%
x=100/8.33-----> x=12 hours
the answer is
12 hours
