1/3 because if you cut a cake into 3 parts you will have a lot more but 0.3 of a cake is not a lot.

1/3 because if you cut a cake into 3 parts you will have a lot more but 0.3 of a cake if you think about it its not to much. Hope this helps! :)

Scientists modeled the intensity of the sun, I, as a function of the number of hours since 6:00 a.m., h, using the

MAVERICK [17]

The functions are illustrations of composite functions.

<em>The soil temperature at 2:00pm is 67</em>

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{I(h) =\frac{12h - h^2}{36}}$ ---- the function for sun intensity

$\mathbf{T(I) =\sqrt{5000I}}$ -- the function for temperature

At 2:00pm, the value of h (number of hours) is:

$\mathbf{h = 2:00pm - 6:00am}$

$\mathbf{h = 8}$

Substitute 8 for h in $\mathbf{I(h) =\frac{12h - h^2}{36}}$ , to calculate the sun intensity

$\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{12 \times 8 - 8^2}{36}}$

$\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{32}{36}}$

$\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{8}{9}}$

Substitute 8/9 for I in $\mathbf{T(I) =\sqrt{5000I}}$ , to calculate the temperature of the soil

$\mathbf{T(8/9) =\sqrt{5000 \times 8/9}}$

$\mathbf{T(8/9) =\sqrt{4444.44}}$

$\mathbf{T(8/9) =66.67}$

Approximate

$\mathbf{T(8/9) =67}$

Hence, the soil temperature at 2:00pm is 67

37 1/2% of _________ is 36, Please help show work I am really confused.

klio [65]

Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:

Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375

Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".

====================================

Your question says

   "37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".

Translate it with your tools:

      0.375 times blank = 36 .

Divide each side by 0.375:     Blank = 36 / 0.375 .

Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.

To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):

Do exactly what the question says.

Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
