Answer: False, there are actually 900 different three-digit numbers
========================================================
Explanation:
The three digit numbers span from 100 to 999, including both endpoints.
This means we have 999-100+1 = 900 different three-digit numbers.
You subtract the endpoints (large-small) and add 1 to include the lower endpoint.
Here's a smaller example of why this works: say you had the set {1,2,3,4} and we wanted to count the number of items in this set. Clearly there are 4 items. Note how subtracting the endpoints 4-1 gets us 3 instead, so we add on 1 to include that left endpoint.
C. eight or fewer
99% means 99/100
. with 9 alarms there is no way you can trigger 8 alarms with that 99% rate
For rectangle
l=3.07m
b=2.24m
so longest side that can be drawn is diagonal of rectangular board
=squareroot l^2+b^2
=squareroot3.07^2+2.24^2
=squareroot9.4249+5.0176
=squareroot14.4425
=3.80
So longest line that can be drawn in rectangular board is 3.80m
The easiest way, I think, is to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction, then multiply by 3.
3 1/2 = 7/2
7/2 · 3 = 21/2
now just change the improper fraction back to a mixed number by dividing and putting the remainder into fraction form
21/2 = 10 1/2
You could also multiply the whole number by 3 and the fraction by 3, ending up with 9 3/2, but then have to convert the improper fraction into a mixed number
3/2 = 1 1/2
then add the numbers together
9 + 1 1/2 = 10 1/2
either way works, whatever is easiest for you.
