Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

20 ÷ \frac{15}{16}

Can be rewritten as:

\frac{20}{1}÷ \frac{15}{16}

Now we multiply, by keeping the first fraction, and flipping the second.

\frac{20}{1} * \frac{16}{15}

We can reduce 20 and 15 by 5, to make it easier to solve:

\frac{4}{1} * \frac{16}{3}

Not lets solve:

\frac{4}{1} * \frac{16}{3}

\frac{64}{3} = 21\frac{1}{3} = 21.{\overline {\rm {3}}} (the 3 is repeating).

So, in short words, keep the 20, flips the fraction (\frac{15}{16}) to (\frac{16}{15}), and then reduce the 20 to 4, and the fraction (\frac{16}{15})    to  \frac{16}{3} , and then multiply.

Hope that helps!

Order from least to greatest.<br><br> 34%, 4/15, 0.3
Whitepunk [10]

Today we are ordering. To do this, I recommend you to convert to either decimal or fraction. Let's go with fractions, cause why not.

To order, make 0.3 into 3/10 because 3 is 3 of 10. We make 34% as 17/50 since 1% equals 1/100.

Reorder:

17/50, 4/15, 3/10. All fractions here can be x/750.

Reorder:

225/750, 200/750, 225/750.

As you see, there are two 225s. It's okay of however you write it as. We also have to remember that the question has to be using 34%, 4/15, and 0.3.

Answer: 4/15, 17/50, 0.3 is the answer.

Lily wants to buy a cow but can't afford the $25 it costs. Later in the year it is at an affordable $15 and Lily can buy it. Wha
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There was 60% discount on the cow.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Cost of cow = $25
  • Latest price = $15

Discount can be calculated by dividing the latest price by the original price and multiplying by 100.

Thus,

percentage discount = 15/25 × 100

                                   = 0.6 × 100

                                    = 60%

Thus, there was 60% discount on the cow.

To find the mean add all the numbers and dived by the number of numbers. So 15 + 23 + 14 + 17 + 21 = 90 / 5 =  18. The mean is 18.

Find the surface area of the prism.
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

108 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

the surface area is the sum of all individual shapes areas on the surface.

2 right-angled triangles

3 rectangles

area of a right-angled triangle is At = a×b/2

At = 4×3/2 = 6 cm²

we need it twice : 12 cm²

one rectangle (length×width) = 8×3 = 24 cm²

one rectangle = 8×4 = 32 in²

one rectangle = 8×5 = 40 cm²

total surface area

A = 12+24+32+40 = 108 cm²

an area is always a square unit (power of 2).

a volume is always a cubic unit (power of 3).

and a length is always a simple unit (power of 1).
