Answer:

The least number of decimal places is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number,

34.44

According to the question,

34.44 = a whole number × other number,

\text{whole number}=\frac{34.44}{\text{other number}}

A whole number ( 0, 1, 2, 3.... ) does not contain the decimal.

∵ There are 2 decimal places in the number 34.44,

Also, for eliminating decimal we need to divide 34.44 by the factor of 3444 having 2 or more than 2 decimal places.

So, the least number of decimal in the other number is 2.

The answer is 2, because if a number is a whole number, for example 2, you must multiply it by a number with 2 decimals, in this case 17.77, to get 34.44 based on this example.


*There are some cases where this doesn't apply, I think, but it does apply for your question.

Bradley is returning home from a place that is 2 kilometers away. The function y = 2,000 − 90x represents Bradley's distance fro
Elena-2011 [213]
In an algebraic equation, you should have at least 2 variables: the independent and the dependent. The independent variable in this case, is the parameter that cannot be controlled - time. This is expressed in minutes using the variable x. The dependent variable is the parameter you want to measure - the distance expressed using the variable y. Since the problem states a parameter of distance in terms of 2 kilometers, y=2. Therefore, I think the choices would be about the amount of minutes it would take for Bradley to cover this distance. Assuming this is the case, then the answer would be:
 
2 = 2000 - 90x
90x = 2000-2
90x = 1998
x = 1998/90
x = 22.3 minutes
 
It would take 22.3 minutes for Bradley to cover the 2 kilometers so that he could get home.

The half life of a certain tranquilizer in the bloodstream is 37 hours. How long will it take for the drug to decay to 86% of th
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

  8.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A model of the fraction remaining can be ...

  f = (1/2)^(t/37) . . . . t in hours

So, for the fraction remaining being 86%, we can solve for t using ...

  0.86 = 0.5^(t/37)

  log(0.86) = (t/37)log(0.5)

  t = 37·log(0.86)/log(0.5) ≈ 8.0509 ≈ 8.1 . . . hours

It takes about 8.1 hours to decay to 86% of the original concentration.

Samantha went to a concession stand and bought three pretzels and four sodas and paid a total of $11.25 for them. Raza went to t
LenKa [72]

Answer:

No, because their respective prices are $0.75 and $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the price of each pretzel is x and the price of each soda is y

3x + 4y = 11.25_____ equation 1

5x + 2y = 8.25_____ equation 2

Multiply equation 2 by the figure 2 so as to have both equation sharing the same coefficient of y

10x + 4y = 16.5____ equation 1

3x + 4y = 11.25____ equation 2

Now subtract equation 2 from 1

7x = 5.25

X = 5.25/7

X = 0.75

Now substitute x = 0.75 in equation 1

10x + 4y = 16.5

10(0.75) + 4y = 16.5

7.5 + 4y = 16.5

4y = 16.5 - 7.5

4y = 9

Y = 2.25

Therefore,the cost of each pretzel is $0.75 while that of soda is $2.25

Twenty-five bakery customers were surveyed to determine if they like cake or pie. The results are shown in the Venn diagram. Cir
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Probability = 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

AS the Venn diagram is not given in the question, the question is incomplete. I've attached the Venn diagram of this question below for a better understanding of the question and its solution.

In the Venn diagram we can see that

Costumers who like Cake = 10

Costumers who like Pie = 8

Costumers who like both = 4

So it means that

Total costumers who like Cake = 10 + 4 = 14

Total costumers who like Pie = 8 + 4 = 12

We have to find probabilty that a costumer who likes cakes also likes pie

So

Total costumers who like cake = 14

Costumers out of 14 who also like pie = 4

Probability = (No. of costumers who also like pie) / (Total costumers who like cake)

Probability = 4/14 = 2/7

Mr. Donley drove 504 km in each direction on a vacation
mestny [16]

Answer:

Data that we know:

He drove 504km in each direction.

Going, the average speed was 14km/h more than returning.

The total trip lasted 21 hours.

Ok, to solve this first:

Let's define the variables:

Sg = Average speed when going.

Sr = Average speed when returning.

Then we can write one of our relationships as:

Sg = Sr + 14km/h.

Now, you can recall the relation:

Time = Distance/speed.

Then we can write the equation that represents the total time of the travel as:

504km/Sg + 504km/Sr = 21h

Now we can replace the Sg by Sr + 14km/h, and get:

504km/(Sr + 14km/h) + 504km/Sr = 21h.

Now we must multiplacate by each denominator, in order to remove them:

504km*Sr + 504km*(Sr + 14km/h) = 21h*Sr*(Sr + 14km/h)

Sr*1008km + 7056km^2/h = 21h*Sr^2 + 294km*Sr

Now we can write a cuadratic equation, where i will ignore the units so it is easier to read, as:

21*Sr^2 -714*Sr - 7056 = 0

The solutions are given by the Bhaskara formula:

Sr = \frac{714 +- \sqrt{714^2 - 4*21*(-7056)} }{2*21}  = \frac{714 +- 1050}{42}

We have two solutions, one negative and one positive, and because Sr represents an average speed, it must be a positive number, then we choose the positive solution:

Sr = (714 + 1050)/42  km/h = 42km/h

Now we have the average speed for the returning, with this we can find Sg.

Sg = Sr + 14km/h = 42km/h + 14km/h = 56km/h.
