Answer:3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we change 500% to fractions

Changing percentage to fraction is dividing the number by 100

500% = 500/100

Putting this we get 3/(500/100)

Then when a number is being divided by a fraction, to get the answer, we multiply the number by the inverse of the fraction

3/(500/100) = 3 x 100/500 = 300/500 = 3/5

Elsa tries to solve the following equation, and determines there is no solution. Is she correct? Explain.

Vlad [161]

Elsa's answer is incorrect since there is a solution of the given equation. In the given logarithmic problem, we need to simplify the problem by transposing log2(3x+5) in the opposite side. The equation will now be log2x-log2(3x+5)=4. Using properties of logarithm, we further simplify the problem into a new form log (2x/6x+10)=4. Then transform the equation into base form 10^4=(2x/6x+10) and proceed in solving for x value which is equal to 1.667.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Choose a person.

2. Substitute the numbers into the correct values.

105 - 15 = ?/5 = 18

105 - 18 = ?/5 = 3.48

105 - 12 = ?/5 = 18.6

105 - 23 = ?/5 = 16.4

It is A because it is the only one in which the answer is equivalent to the cost.

Hope this helps:)

Quadrilateral ABCD ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD ABCD

Kay [80]

Sketch the two quadrilaterals and label them as shown in the figure below.

Let x = length of the 4th side of ABCD.

Because ABCD ~ EFGH, therefore
x/5 = 14/6

That is,
x = (5/6)*14 = 11.67 ft

Answer: D. 11.7 ft
