What is nearest tenth?

The decimal number can also be rounded to the nearest tenths place value. The first number that appears after the decimal point is the tenth place value. Look at the hundredth number to round the decimal number to the nearest tenth. If it's more than 5, add one to the tenth value.

The tenths digit stays the same if it is 4 or less. The hundredths place digit, 8, is greater than or equal to 5, so 3.58 can be rounded to 3.6. Due to the fact that the digit in the hundredths place, 2, is less than 5, 3.32 would be rounded to 3.3.

a) 60 square meters in square centimeters.

Answers

Answer:

600,000 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the conversion from meters to centimeters to be

1 m = 100 cm.

We need the conversion factor from square meters to square centimeters.

Start with

1 m = 100 cm

Square both sides.

(1 m)² = (100 cm)²

1 m² = 10,000 cm²

Now that we have the correct conversion factor from m² to cm², we can do the conversion of 60 m² into cm².

60 m² × (10,000 cm²)/(1 m²) = 600,000 cm²

Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and ∠BAC=30°. Side AB and the median AD contain points Q and P respectively (points P and Q are not at point A) in such a way that PC=PQ. Find m∠PQC.

Answers

Answer:

15°

brainlest

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P is on the median of ΔABC, it is equidistant from points B and C as well as from C and Q. Thus, points B, C, and Q all lie on a circle centered at P. (See the attached diagram.)

The base angles (B and C) of triangle ABC are (180° -30°)/2 = 75°. This means arc QC of the circle centered at P has measure 150°. The diameter of circle P that includes point Q is defined to intersect circle P at R.

Central angle RPC is the difference between arcs QR and QC, so is 180° -150° = 30°. Inscribed angle RQC has half that measure, so is 15°.  Angle PQC has the same measure as angle RQC, so is 15°.

Angle PQC is 15°.

Jacky starts biking to meet up with her friend. She knows that if she bikes at a speed of
10 mph he will be 3 minutes late for the meeting. Jacky also knows that if she bikes at a
speed of 12 mph, she will be there 2 minutes before they agreed to meet. How much
time does she have left before the appointed time?

Answers

Using the speed - distance relationship, the time left before the appointed time is 27 minutes.

Recall :

Distance = speed × time

Let time = t

At 10mph :

Distance = 10 × (t + 3) = 10t + 30 - - - (1)

At 12 mph :

Distance = 12 × (t - 2) = 12t - 24 - - - - (2)

Equate (1) and (2) :

10t + 30 = 12t - 24

Collect like terms

10t - 12t = - 24 - 30

-2t = - 54

Divide both sides by - 2

t = 54 / 2

t = 27

Hence, the time left before the appointed time is 27 minutes.

spilled $40 into the ratio of 3:7

Answers

Answer:

$12/$28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the two amounts of money adding up to $40.

Assume that x is the smaller amount.  Then:

 x        3

----- = -----    Remembering that x + y = $40, we get x = $40 - y

 y        7

amd sp we have

 $40 - y          3

-------------- = ------   which, after cross-multiplication, is $280 - $7y = 3y

       y             7

Simplifying this, we get $280 = 10 y, so that y must be $28.  If y = $28, x must be $40 - $28, or $12.

                                                                             $12

Then $40, split in the ratio 3/7, is the ratio ----------------

                                                                            $28

Check:  Note that $12 + $28 = $40, as required, and that $12/$28 = 3/7.

A cubed shaped water tank has a volume of 729 m3 , one of the walls on the inside will need to be painted, a gallon of paint will cover an area of 15 square meters, the paint can only be bought by the gallon (you can’t buy part of a gallon), how many gallons of paint will be needed to paint one of the walls?

Answers

Answer:  33 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The water tank is a cube, with one dimension of x meters. Its volume will be x^3.

X^3 = 729m^3

x = 9 meters.  The cube has 4 side walls and a top and bottom, for a total of 6 interior walls.  Each wall has an area of x^2, or 81 m^2.

(6 walls)*(81 ft^2) = 486 m^2

One gallon of paint will cover 15 m^2.  The conversion factor is (1 gallon/15 m^2)

(486 m^2)*(1 gallon/15 m^2) = 32.4 gallons, rounded up to 33 gallons

subtract the other number which isnt the variable

92-8

subtract and you get your answer!

Step-by-step explanation:

an equation means that whatever is on one side of the "=" sign is truly equal to whatever is on the other side.

it is like a balance.

you can change the content on one side of the balance, but then you have to make the same change on the other side of the balance. otherwise the balanced relation between both sides is destroyed. and it is no longer an equation.

for the same reason, you can perform any mathematical operation on an equation, as long as you do it simultaneously on both sides.

all these equations are equations with one variable.

so, if we find a way to bring all terms with the variable to one side, and everything else (typically constant numbers) to the other side, while still maintaining the equation relation, then we can solve this by saying "this is only an equation, if the variable has this is that value".

and that is the whole trick.

so, for e.g. t + 3 = 5, how can we get only the variable on one side ? well, the "+ 3" is disturbing, so we subtract 3.

and to keep the balance, we need to subtract 3 on both sides.

that gives us then

t + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3

t = 2

and boom ! the equation has solved itself right in front of our eyes.

and the same thing for all the other equations.

find what is the disturbing additional term on the side of the variable, then get rid of it (and repeat that exact action on the other side) and see what is left on the other side. and you have solved the equation.

that works in every direction like

n + 22 = 5

n + 22 - 22 = 5 - 22

n = -17

12.5 = 7.4 + z

12.5 - 7.4 = 7.4 - 7.4 + z

5.1 = z or

z = 5.1

remember, it is an equation like a balance. you can switch the balance bowls from left to right and right to left, and still they are in balance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josh, Ben and Rick have 70 marbles altogether. The ratio of the number marbles Josh has to the number of marbles Rick has is 1: 2. However, Ben has 15 marbles fewer than Rick. How many marbles does Ben have?

Answers

Answer:

Ben has 19 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

First taking that josh and ricks ratio is 1:2, this would set up in an equation as [tex]2j = r[/tex] and with ben having 15 less than rick, his formula would be [tex]r = b + 15[/tex] as well as the total of all the boys marbles together being this [tex]j+r+b=70[/tex]

Now we put all of these equations into a set to answer them.

[tex]2j = r\\ r = b + 15\\j+r+b=70[/tex]

First we solve for j

[tex]2j = r\\ j=\frac{1}{2} r[/tex]

Then substitute j

[tex]j+r+b=70\\ \frac{1}{2}r+r+b=70\\ 2b+3r=140[/tex]

Then simplify and multiply by 2 to even out

[tex]r = b + 15\\ -b+r=15\\2b+3r=140[/tex]

Now eliminate the b variable and combine equations

[tex]2b+3r=140\\-2b+2r=30[/tex]

[tex]5r=170[/tex]

Now divide and solve for r

[tex]5r=170\\r=34[/tex]

Now we know Rick has 34 marbles of the 70 marbles, so we can substitute his number back into the original equation

[tex]-b+34=15\\b=19[/tex]

Now we know Ben has 19 marbles of the remaining 36, and can substitute his number as well

[tex]j=\frac{1}{2}(34)\\j=17[/tex]

And now we know how much everyone has, to check we rewrite all the equations with their respective numbers

[tex]11+34+19=70\\2(17)=34\\34=19+15[/tex]

[tex]70=70\\34=34\\34=34[/tex]

Which means the ordered pairing of (b, j, r) is (19, 17, 34)

Answers

Ron will not make his monthly goal of $4,123 and will need $359.74 to supplement his monthly income when he retires.

What is Compound interest?

Compound interest simply means that the interest associated with a bank account, loan, or investment increases exponentially over time.

Given monthly income of Ron is $3,142.23

Ron is 25 years old and is retiring at the age of 65. so he has 40 years to contribute.

Total amount he contribute in 40 years paying 5.5% compounded monthly is given by

interest rate(r) = 0.055/12

time period = 40 years = 480 months

Principal amount = $314.223

Future value = [tex]P(\frac{(1+r)^{n}-1 }{r} )[/tex]

Substitute, we get,

= 3142.23 [tex].10(\frac{(1+\frac{0.055)^{12.40}-1) }{12} }{\frac{0.055}{12} }[/tex]

Thus, future value is $547074.681009.

After retirement his monthly income when he has $547074.681009 amount.

P = (A.i/2)/(1-(1+i/12)⁻ⁿ)

Putting values, we get,

P = (547074.68×0.55/12)/1-(1+0.055/12)⁻²⁴⁰

P = $3763.25

He will receive a monthly income of $3763.25.

But  given he will need a monthly income of $4,123 for 20 years, which is not met by Ron.

So, the amount he needs to supplement his monthly income when he retires by (4123-3763.25)= $359.74

Hence, Ron will not make his monthly goal of $4,123 and will need $359.74 to supplement his monthly income when he retires.
