Answer: 0.78 and 39/50

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

What we know:

  • We need to find 78% as a fraction and decimal

How to solve:

The decimal is easy enough, and then the fraction can be found from there. D will represent decimal, p will represent percentage, and F will represent fraction.

<h3>Process:</h3>

Decimal

Set up equation                                                 D = p / 100

Substitute                                                           D = 78% / 100

Simplify                                                               D = 0.78%

Remove % sign                                                  D = 0.78

Fraction

Set up equation                                                 F = p / 100

Substitute                                                           F = 78% / 100

Remove % sign                                                  F = 78 / 100

Simplify if needed                                            F = /2    /2

                                                                           F = 39 / 50

Solution: 0.78 and 39/50

Check:

Multiply the decimal by 100 to check the decimal

0.78 x 100 = 78; 78%

Divide the fraction to check the fraction

39/50 = 0.78; see above

Two numbers total 63 and have a difference of 31. Find the two numbers
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 47 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

- Make Two Equations

x + y = 63

x - y = 31

- Set one of the equations equal to one of the variables

x + y = 63

x = 31 + y

- Substitute the equation back into the other one

(31 + y) + y = 63

31 + 2y = 63

2y = 32

y = 16

- Substitute the answer back into the equation

x + y = 63

x + 16 = 63

x = 47

The shelf is made of 3 pieces of wood, each 0.3 meter wide. There is also 0.05 meter of space between the shelf and the wall on
lutik1710 [3]
Since there are 2 sides to the shelf, there is 0.05*2=0.05+0.05=0.1 meters of space between the shelf and wall in total. Next, since each piece of wood is 0.3 meters wide and we have 3 of them, the total width of the wood is 0.3+0.3+<something>
Note that <width of wood>+<space between shelf and well> =width of closet
I challenge you to finish this on your own - good luck, and feel free to ask with any further questions!

Ann is adding water to a swimming pool at a constant rate. The table below shows the amount of water in the pool after different
N76 [4]

Answer:

(a)  As time increases, the amount of water in the pool increases.

     11 gallons per minute

(b)  65 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

From inspection of the table, we can see that <u>as time increases, the amount of water in the pool increases</u>.

We are told that Ann adds water at a constant rate.  Therefore, this can be modeled as a linear function.  

The rate at which the water is increasing is the <em>rate of change</em> (which is also the <em>slope </em>of a linear function).

Choose 2 ordered pairs from the table:

\textsf{let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(8, 153)

\textsf{let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(12,197)

Input these into the slope formula:

\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{197-153}{12-8}=\dfrac{44}{4}=11

Therefore, the rate at which the water in the pool is increasing is:

<u>11 gallons per minute</u>

To find the amount of water that was already in the pool when Ann started adding water, we need to create a linear equation using the found slope and one of the ordered pairs with the point-slope formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

\implies y-153=11(x-8)

\implies y-153=11x-88

\implies y=11x-88+153

\implies y=11x+65

When Ann had added no water, x = 0.  Therefore,

y=11(0)+65

y=65

So there was <u>65 gallons</u> of water in the pool before Ann starting adding water.
