How do I create a model to prove answer what is 15% of 60? I know the answer is 9 but very confused on how to show model.

You could draw a pie graph, I'm assuming you know how to draw one but I'll tell you anyways. draw a circle with sixty slices, like pizza. shade in 15 percent, or nine sclices. that's my favorite way to model percentages.

What does y equal in this algebraic equation? (grade 7) 24y+(42-6)=8

IgorC [24]

Answer:

y equals -1.16 (repeating decimal)

Step-by-step explanation:

I got the answer by first solving what is in the parentheses. 42-6=36. After this, I subtracted 36 on both sides to get the variable (y) by itself. After I did this, I had 24y = -28. So, I divided both sides by 24 (24y). The y was left by itself and -28/24=1.16 (repeating decimal).

Therefore, y=1.16,1.17 when rounded, or -7/6 as a fraction

If a right triangle has equal legs, and the hypotenuse is 26 ft. how long is each leg (leave answer in radical form)

Ksenya-84 [330]

If a right triangle has equal legs, it is by definition a 45-45-90 triangle. So, the two sides would be x and the hypotenuse would $x\sqrt{2}$ . However, we know the hypotenuse, and we do not see a $\sqrt{2}$ anywhere. That means it has already been multiplied by it, so to get the lengths of the sides we simply divide 26 by $\sqrt{2}$ . If you have to rationalize the denominator, the answer will be $\frac{26}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{26\sqrt{2}}{2} = 13\sqrt{2}$
