This is a result of the rules of significant figures. These are the digits of the numbers that matter. For operations involving multiplication, the product should have the same significant numbers with the least significant numbers of the given data. In this case, that would be 0.4. Since 0.4 has one significant figure, then the product should be reported with one significant number. That should be 0.1.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Banerjee Inc. wants to maintain a target capital structure with 30% debt and 70% equity. Its forecasted net income is $825,000,
bulgar [2K]

The capital budget will be supported with 30% debt and 70% equity. Since the company's income will be $825,000 this is the maximum equity that can be put towards the capital budget and therefor is matched in the ratio 70:30 by borrowings. If $825000 is 70%, divide that (825,000/.70) you’ll get the total maximum budget of $1,178,571 which is letter c. To get the 30%, just deduct the $825,000 to $1,178,571, you’ll get $353,571. To make sure your answer is correct, add up the 70% and 30% values and if they make the original total value, then the answer is correct. $825,000 + $353,571 = $1,178,571

Five hundred sixth-grade students
viktelen [127]
<h3>The ratio in three ways are 500 : 125 or 100 : 25 or 4 : 1</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Five hundred sixth-grade students  were surveyed

Which means,

sixth-grade students = 500

125 had traveled on an airplane

<em><u>What is the ratio of total sixth-grade students to the number of students who had  traveled on an airplane?</u></em>

Therefore,

total sixth-grade students : students  traveled on airplane = 500 : 125

<h3>Ratio = 500 : 125</h3>

Reduce to lowest terms,

Divide both sides by 5

<h3>Ratio = 100 : 25</h3>

Further reduce to simplest terms,

Divide both sides by 25

<h3>Ratio = 4 : 1</h3>

Thus the ratio in three ways are 500 : 125 or 100 : 25 or 4 : 1

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is diagonals are equal and bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposites sides equal in length and all interior angles equal to 90°. Opposite sides are parallel and adjacent sides are perpendicular. Diagonals in a rectangle are equal in length and they bisect each other. If we want to draw a circumcircle, then the point of intersection of these diagonals give the circumcenter.
