turn 7/8 into a percent​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{87.5\%}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert fraction to a decimal.

[tex]\frac{7}{8} =0.875[/tex]

Multiply the decimal by 100.

[tex]0.875 \times 100= 87.5[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

87.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

100 divided by 8 = 12.5

We know that one eighth of 100 is 12.5. Now we multiply an eighth by 7 to get seven-eighths (7/8)

12.5 * 7 = 87.5

So 7/8 as a percent is 87.5%

In a competition, a school awarded medals in different categiories.40 medals in sport 25 medals in danceand 212 medals in music, if the total of 55 students got medals and only 6 students got medals in the three categories ,how many students get medals in exactly two of these categories?

Answers

Answer:

210

Note: this answer might be incorrect because of the value of music (212). This doesn't make logical sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

This question can easily be solved through the use of a venn diagram.

Total number of students = 55

Number of medals in sport = 40 = A

Number of medals in dance = 25 = B

Number of medals in music = 212 = C

Number of students that got award in the three categories = (AnBnC) = 6

n(AuBuC) = 55

n(AnB) + n(BnC) + n(AnC) - 3n(AnBnC) =

n(AnB) + n(AnB) + n(AnC) -3×6 ......equation (i)

n(AuBuC) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(AnB) - n(BnC) - n(AnC) + n(AnBnC)

Therefore,

n(AnB) + n(BnC) + n(AnC) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) + n(AnBnC) - n(AuBuC)

n(A) + n(B) + n(C) + n(AnBnC) - n(AuBuC) - 18

40 + 25 + 212 + 6 - 55 - 18 = 210

Note: this answer might be incorrect because of the value of C (music)

Which relationships have the same constant of proportionality between yyy and xxx as the following graph?

Answers

The constant of proportionality is 3. The relationship that will have the same constant of proportionality will also have a slope of 3

For us to determine the constant of proportionality of the given graph, we must first find the equation of the line.

The standard equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b

m is the slopeb is the y-intercept

Using the coordinate points (0, 0) and (2, 6)

Get the slope "m"

[tex]m=\frac{6-0}{2-0}\\m=\frac{6}{2}\\m=3[/tex]

Since the line passed through the origin, the y-intercept is 0

Get the required equation:

y = mx + b

y = 3x + 0

y = 3x

From the equation, the constant of proportionality is 3. The relationship that will have the same constant of proportionality will also have a slope of 3

Cheryl is planning to go to a four-year college in two years. She develops a monthly savings plan using the estimates shown. What should her monthly savings be? (rounded to the nearest cent)

Answers

Answer:

$541.67 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Tuition and other expenses = $8,250 per semester.

There are two semesters in a year

She has 4 years to spend

Total semester=4years*2semesters

=8 semesters

4 years in college which is a total of 8 semesters.

Total Tuition and other expenses = $8,250 * 8

= $66,000

She needs a total of $66,00 to complete her college

Assistance from parents=$15,000

Financial aid(per semester)=$4750

Total financial aid=$38,000

Total assistance=

Assistance from parents+ financial aid

If you vertically stretch the exponential function, f(x) = 2^x, by a factor of 4, what is the equation of the new function?

Answers

Answer:

f( x ) = 4( [tex]2^x[/tex] )

Step-by-step explanation:

If we vertically stretch a graph by a factor of 4, the " exponential slope " extending from the x - axis, should increase by a factor of 4 as well.

Therefore, the previous function is expressed by the following ...

f( x ) = [tex]2^x[/tex] ... then this new function should be -

f( x ) = 4( [tex]2^x[/tex] )

The equation of this new function is f( x ) = 4( [tex]2^x[/tex] )

Marta is solving the equation x2+x=3 by completing the square what number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square?

Answers

Answer:

C = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a quadratic equation, there are steps to follow and I'll highlight them here.

Assuming we have an equation

ax² + bx + c = 0

Step 1

If a is not equal to 1, divide all through by a

x² + bx + c = 0

Take c to the other side of the equation

x² + bx = c

Step 2

Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation

x² + bx + (b/2)² = c + (b/2)²

In our original question,

We had x² + x = 3

a = 1 , b = 1 c = 3

Using step two, we would have

(b / 2)² = (½)² = ¼ (which is the answer)

Now back to the steps

Step 3

We factor our left side of the equation so as to have a perfect square

[x + (b/2)]² = c + (b/2)²

Step 4

Take the square root of both sides of the equation and solve for x

x + b/2 = ±√[c + (b/2)²]

The answer to the question is ¼

Where L is the length, in feet, of the pendulum, and π is approximately 22 7 . How long must the pendulum be if one complete cycle takes 8 seconds?

Answers

Answer:

Length L = 51.88 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information,

The length of the pendulum can be determined by using the Formula for the period T which  is the time of one full oscillation of a simple pendulum.

[tex]T = 2 \pi \sqrt {\dfrac{L}{g}}[/tex]

where;

T = period of the time of one full oscillation = 8 seconds

L = length in feet

g = acceleration due to gravity in  feet = 32 ft/s²

π = 22/7

[tex]8 = 2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times \sqrt {\dfrac{L}{32}}[/tex]

[tex]8 = 6.2857 \times \sqrt {\dfrac{L}{32}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{8}{6.2857} =\sqrt {\dfrac{L}{32}}[/tex]

[tex]1.273=\sqrt {\dfrac{L}{32}}[/tex]

Randomization allows a sample or small groups with similar characteristics to determine a probability or to hypothesize an event, that is why this type of samples is important in an experiment, that is, to carry it out in a random way.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a crop at a certain time of year, for example in summer, is affected by a certain fungus, to know if it is really the time of year that affects this problem, random samples of the same crop with the same characteristics and put it to the test at another time of the year to see if the weather is really a risk factor in the spread of this fungus.

If f (x) = StartRoot x minus 3 EndRoot, which inequality can be used to find the domain of f(x)?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x\geq 3[/tex] is the inequality to find the Domain of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a function where the variable "x" is inside a square root, we find its Domain by looking for all those values x for which the function is defined for the root, which means all the x-values that make the expression inside the root larger than or equal to zero, avoiding the values smaller for which the square root is not defined.

Therefore, in this case , for

[tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x-3}[/tex]

we ask for the x-values that verify:

[tex]x-3\geq 0\\x\geq 3[/tex]

where we have isolated x on one side of the equal sign.

This would be the definition of the Domain of the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{3x}{8}[/tex]  -  [tex]\frac{4x}{3}[/tex]  =  4

I will show  two methods  of solving this equation

First method

We will follow the steps below:

First find the LCM of 8 and 3

The LCM of 8 and 3 is 24

Next is to multiply through by 24

Our equation becomes

24 ×[tex]\frac{3x}{8}[/tex]  - 24× [tex]\frac{4x}{3}[/tex]  = 24× 4

3×3x    -  8×4x    =24×4

9x  -  32x   = 96

-23x = 96

Divide both-side of the equation by - 23

-23x/-23= 96/-23

x=-[tex]\frac{96}{23}[/tex]        or      x=4.1739

second method

[tex]\frac{3x}{8}[/tex]  -  [tex]\frac{4x}{3}[/tex]  =  4

[tex]\frac{9x - 32x}{24}[/tex]   =   4

multiply both-side of the equation by 24   or cross multiply

9x - 32x = 96

-23x = 96

divide both-side of the equation by -23

x = - [tex]\frac{96}{23}[/tex]     or   x=  4.1739

attentive. Drivers whose cars did not have daytime running lights were about 22% more likely to have an accident. What conclusion can we draw from this
study? Explain.

We can infer a cause-and-effect relationship because the sample was selected randomly.

We cannot infer a cause-and-effect relationship because we do not have a control group.

We can infer a cause-and-effect relationship because multiple variables were included.

We cannot infer a cause-and-effect relationship because treatments were not assigned randomly.

We cannot infer a cause-and-effect relationship because the treatments imposed were not blocked correctly.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

We cannot infer a cause and effect relationship because we do not have a control group

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatment in research involves giving stimulus known as treatment to a group or portion of the sample which are then known as the treatment group while the remaining portion of the the sample are exempted from the stimulus. A successful treatment manipulation is one where members of the treatment group perform higher in the measured metrics of the research than members of the control group.

Given that the researchers gathered data from a random sample of drivers and measurement of several variables  including the explanatory  variable of the of the research without subjecting a sample to a treatment or having a control group we cannot infer a cause and effect relationship as there are no control group
