Answer:

The percent as a fraction in simplest form is $5\frac{1}{2}\%=\frac{11}{200}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A bank is offering home loans at an interest rate of $5\frac{1}{2}\%$ .

To find : Write the percent as a fraction in simplest form ?

Solution :

Interest rate is $5\frac{1}{2}\%$

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction,

$5\frac{1}{2}\%=\frac{11}{2}\%$

Converting percentage by dividing number by 100,

$5\frac{1}{2}\%=\frac{11}{2}$

$5\frac{1}{2}\%=\frac{11}{2}\times \frac{1}{100}$

$5\frac{1}{2}\%=\frac{11}{200}$

Therefore, The percent as a fraction in simplest form is $5\frac{1}{2}\%=\frac{11}{200}$

The necklace charm shown has two parts, each shaped like a trapezoid with identical dimensions. What is the total area, in squar

pashok25 [27]

The area of the trapezoid can be calculated through the equation,
A = (b₁ + b₂)h / 2
where b₁ and b₂ are the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values from the given,
A = (25mm + 32mm)(15 mm) / 2
A = 427.5 mm²
Since there are two trapezoids in the necklace, the area calculated is to be multiplied by two to get the total area.
total area = (427.5 mm²)(2)
total area = 855 mm²

The number w and 0.8 are additive inverses.

umka2103 [35]

Since, the number w and 0.8 are additive inverses.

A number 'a' is said to have an additive inverse '-a' if "a+ (-a)= 0".

Since, 'w' and '0.8' are additive inverses of each other such that $w + 0.8 = 0$

Therefore, the value of 'w' should be '-0.8' so that $-0.8 + 0.8 = 0$ .

So, the value of 'w' is =0.8

Now, Refer to the attached image which represents the position of 0.8 , w ( that is -0.8) and the sum of 0.8 and w.

Sum of 0.8 and w = 0.8 + w

= 0.8 +(-0.8)

= 0.

A test tube contains 25 bacteria, 5 of which are can stay alive for atleast 30 days, 10 of which will die in their second day. 1

boyakko [2]

Answer:

c. $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of bacterias who alive for at least 30 days = 5,

Bacterias who alive for 2 days = 10,

Died bacterias = 10,

Total bacterias = 5 + 10 + 10 = 25,

Ways of choosing a bacteria = $^{25}C_1$ = $\frac{25!}{1! 24!}$ = 25,

While, ways of choosing of a bacteria who will live after 1 week = $^5C_1$ = $\frac{5!}{1!4!}$ = 5,

Hence, the probability it will still be alive after one week = $\frac{5}{25}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$

OPTION C is correct.

marin [14]

The nut lands first on gorund

Solution:

The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds

Given that,

A squirrel is 24 feet up in a tree and tosses a nut out of the tree with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second

The nuts height, h, at time t seconds can be represented by the equation:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 8t+24$

$-16t^2 + 8t+24 = 0\\\\-2t^2 + t + 3 = 0\\\\2t^2 - t-3=0\\\\Split\ the\ middle\ term\\\\2t^2 + 2t-3t - 3 = 0\\\\Break\ the\ expression\ into\ groups\\\\(2t^2 + 2t) -(3t+3) = 0\\\\2t(t+1) -3(t+1) = 0\\\\(t+1)(2t-3) = 0\\\\Therefore,\\\\t + 1 = 0\\\\t = -1\\\\2t-3=0\\\\2t = 3\\\\t = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$

time cannot be negative, so ignore t = -1

Thus the nut takes 1.5 seconds to reach ground

From given,

The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds

Therefore, the nut lands first on gorund

Lindy works at a pizza restaurant and gets a 10% employee discount. She knows that if she orders d drinks and a medium pizza wit

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Lindy's total cost can be found using this expression provided in the exercise:

$0.90(2.25d + 1.40t + 6)$

Where "d" is the number of drinks she orders and "t" is the number of toppings for a medium pizza she orders.

Since she and her friends to order 4 drinks and a medium pizza with 3 toppings, you can find the total cost by substitute values into the given expression.

The values are:

$d=4\\\\t=3$

Substituting into the expression and evaluating, you get:

$0.90(2.25d + 1.40t + 6)= 0.90(2.25(4) + 1.40(3) + 6)=\$17.28$
