So basically a decimal is moved based on how many zeros are in the dividing number

Ex. 51,000/100

because there are 2 zeros in the number one hundred, the decimal in 51,000 gets moved 2 places to the left

So it goes from 51,000 to 510

Ex. 16 * 1000

There are three zeros in the number 1000. This means three zeros will be added onto the number 16

So the answer would be 16,000

Hope this helps!

If e = 9 cm and f = 40 cm, what is the length of g?

rewona [7]

(9,40,41) is a Pythagorean Triple, farther down the list than teachers usually venture.

Answer: D. 41 cm

There's a subset of Pythagorean Triples where the long leg is one less than the hypotenuse,

a^2+b^2 = (b+1)^2

a^2 + b^2 = b^2 + 2b +1

a^2=2b+1

So we get one for every odd number, since the square of an odd number is odd and the square of an even number is even.

b = (a^2 - 1)/2

a=3, b=(3^2-1)/2=4, c=b+1=5

a=5, b=(5^2-1)/2 =12, c = 13

a=7, b=24, c=25

a=9, b=40, c=41

a=11, b=60, c=61

a=13, b=84, c=85

It's good to be able to recognize Pythagorean Triples when we see them.

Otherwise we'd have to work the calculator:

√(9² + 40²) = √1681 = 41

Beck finished 30% of his homework in 12 minutes. How many minutes will it take him to complete all of his homework?

arlik [135]

The correct answer is choice D. If you put choice D into words, it is saying 30% (0.3) of the total is 12 minutes.

To solve this, use inverse operations.

0.3m = 12
0.3 0.3
m = 40

It will take Beck 40 minutes.

Match the following items by evaluating the expression for x = -6.

Kryger [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the value of x = -6 to all expressions:

$x^{-2}=(-6)^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{(-6)^2}=\dfrac{1}{6}\qquad\text{used}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\=====================\\x^{-1}=(-6)^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{(-6)^1}=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\=====================\\x^0=(-6)^0=1\qquad a^0=1\ \text{for all real numbers except 0}\\=====================\\x^1=(-6)^1=-6\qquad a^1=a\ \text{for all real numbers}\\=====================\\x^2=(-6)^2=36$

If 2A:3B=5:6 and 3B:2C=36:15 then find A:C

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

A: C = 2: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the attached pictures for the full solution.

Further explanantion (2nd image):

The reason why the ratio of A: C is equal to the ratio if 2A: 2C is that the number of parts of A and C is equal, which is 2 parts. If I were to divide both 2A and 2C by 2 to find the ratio of A: C, I would obtain 15: 15/2. However, ratios are expressed as whole numbers and thus, we would multiply the whole ratio by 2 again and the answer would still be 30: 15. This ratio is not in the simplest form since both can be divided by 15. Thus, dividing both sides of the ratio by 15 will leave us with the final answer of

A: C= 2: 1.

☆ An alternative method is to simplify the ratio 3B: 2C at the beginning.

3B: 2C

= 36: 15

= 12: 5

Multiply the first ratio by 2 so 3B has 12 parts in both ratios:

2A: 3B

= 10: 12

Combining the 2 ratios together,

2A: 3B: 2C

= 10: 6: 5

2A: 2C

= 10: 5

= 2: 1

A: C= 2: 1

Which is most likely the correlation coefficient for the set of data shown?

mafiozo [28]

That's a really good positive correlation pictured. The line fits the data very well. The slope of the line is positive, meaning as x increases so does y. I'd choose a big positive value.

Answer: 0.872
