Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
In the sentence "15 is 25% of 60.", 25% is the percentage.
15 is the partial amount and 60 is the total amount.
15/60 = .25
convert a decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100
.25 × 100 = 25
Some people use a shortcut of moving the decimal two places to the right. This is the same as multiplying by 100.
15/60 is 25%

The expression for length and breadth of the rectangle garden in terms of the side of the square tomato patch.
l=3x+2
b=x+5
The linear equation is the equation where the highest degree of the variables is 1.
Here given that the garden is rectangular in shape and the tomato patch is square in shape.
the length of the side of the square tomato patch is x.
Asuume the length of the rectangle garden is l
and the breadth of the rectangle garden is b.
Given that
the length of the garden is greater than the 3 times of the length of the rectangular garden by 2 feet.
3 times of the length of the rectangular garden is 3x
2 feet greater than 3 times of the length of the rectangular garden= 3x+2
so from above, it is clear that l=3x+2
similarly, the breadth of the garden is greater than the length of the rectangular garden by 5 feet.
then the breadth of the garden = b= x+5
Therefore the expression for length and breadth of the rectangle garden in terms of the side of the square tomato patch.
l=3x+2
b=x+5

where:
r is the radiush is the heightGiven:
r = 4 cmh = 10 cmSubstitute the given values into the formula and solve for v:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a cylinder} & =\sf \pi r^2 h \\ \implies \textsf{Volume of the battery} & = \sf \pi (4)^2(10)\\ v& = \sf 160 \pi\:\:cm^3\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute the given values into the Density equation and solve for m:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\rho & =\dfrac{m}{v}\\\implies 12 \dfrac{\text{g}}{\sf cm^3} & = \dfrac{m}{160 \pi \sf \:\:cm^3}\\m & = 12 \dfrac{\text{g}}{\sf cm^3} \cdot 160 \pi \sf \:\:cm^3\\m & = 12 \cdot 160 \pi \:\text{g}\\ m & = 1920\pi\:\text{g}\\ m & = 6031.857895...\:\text{g}\end{aligned}[/tex]

833.30/
1-(1+0.00833)^-360
Answer:
833.25 or 877.59
Step-by-step explanation:
I solved this in two different ways because I wasn't sure on how the question was meant to be read.
Attempt 1:
(833.3/1)-(1+0.00833)^-360
(1+0.00833)^-360 = 0.0505
so:
833.3 - 0.0505 = 833.25
Attempt 2:
833.3/(1-(1+0.00833)^-360)
1- 0.0505 = 0.9495
833.3/0.9495 = 877.59

Sarah conducted an experiment regarding the effectiveness of two mathematics tutoring programs: Math Master and Excel. She randomly selected 20 students from her high school and assigned 10 students to the Math Master program. Sarah then assigned the remaining 10 students to the Excel program.
Finding the percent increase, it is found that the correct option is given by:
C. The Master Program and the Excel Program are both effective, but Math is more effective because of the greater percent increase.
What is the percent increase?The percent increase is given by the difference between the final and the initial score, divided by the initial score and multiplied by 100%.
Researching the problem on the internet, we have that:
In the Master program, the average score increased from 75 to 87.In the Excel program, the average score increased from 73 to 81.The percent increases are given as follows:
M = 12/75 x 100% = 16%,E = 8/73 x 100% = 10.96%.Hence the correct option is given by:
C. The Master Program and the Excel Program are both effective, but Math is more effective because of the greater percent increase.

What is percentage decrease?Percent decrease refers to the percent change in the value when it is decreased over a period of time. Percentage decrease expresses the decrease in the given value with respect to its initial value in the form of a percentage.
Given:
In 2019= 16.6 million
% decrease = 5%
So,
% decrease= x - 16.6/ x
5% = x- 16.6/x
0.05= (x-16.6)/x
0.05x = x-16.6
-0.05 x = -16.6
x= 16.6/0.05

Need help! The answer is D, can anyone explain in detail how?
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
0.0378÷0.21=0.18
this is 18 hundredths
but its 180 thousandths
Explanation:
Now--this is an awfully odd way to word a question.
BUT, it is solvable!
digits have "place values" in numbers, let's focus on after the decimal point:
_ . _ _ _ _ _ '
we know this can go on forever, but we don't need it to (for this problem, that is)
_ . _ _ _
_ . {tenths} {hundredths} {thousandths} ........
we want to know how many thousandths we have:
the answer to this problem (0.0378 / 0.21) is 0.18
{let's consider what we know about place values:}
"10" can be thought of as ten-ones
and "1" can be thought of as ten tenths
{the reason it's always ten __ is that we use a base-ten system, and there are only ten options for each digit [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] }
so, 10 could be thought of as ten ones, which could each be thought of as ten tenths--meaning that 10 is the same thing as 100 tenths
[if you ignore the decimal point, it becomes more clear]:
10.0 [100]
likewise, 10.00 is 1000 hundredths; and 10.000 is 10,000 thousandths
--------
okay, back to our problem:
how many thousandths make up 0.18?
Let's write this out to the thousandths place:
0.180
if we use our tactic of ignoring the decimal, we are left with 0180 [of course, a "0" before a number has no value, so we can rewrite it as 180], or 180
so, 0.18 is really composed of 180 thousandths, which is how option D is the answer
hope this helps!! :)

find sin(x/2), cos (x/2), and tan(x/2) from the given information.
Sin(x)= 15/17, 0 < x <90
sin(x/2)= ?
cos(x/2)=?
tan(x/2)= 0.6
I need help with sin and cos. I know what tan is.
Step-by-step explanation:
sin(x/2) = sqrt((1 - cos(x))/2)
cos(x/2) = sqrt((1 + cos(x))/2)
tan(x/2) = sin(x/2)/cos(x/2)
sin(x) = 15/17
so, we can assume the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle is 17, the vertical leg is 15.
via Pythagoras we get the 3rd, horizontal side :
17² = 15² + side²
289 = 225 + side²
64 = side²
side = 8
cos(x) = 8/17
sin(x/2) = sqrt((1 - 8/17)/2) = sqrt(9/34) = 3/sqrt(34) =
= 0.514495755...
cos(x/2) = sqrt((1 + 8/17)/2) = sqrt(25/34) = 5/sqrt(34) =
= 0.857492926...
tan(x/2) = 3/sqrt(34) / 5/sqrt(34) = 3/sqrt(34) × sqrt(34)/5 =

pls help me solve for x in this equation
Answer:
x = 9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
√2x + √2x = 6
2√2x = 6
2√2x/2 = 6/2
√2x = 3
(√2x)² =( 3)²
2x = 9
x = 9/2
Answer:
x = 4.5
Explanation:
[tex]\rightarrow \sf \sqrt{2x} + \sqrt{2x} = 6[/tex]
add following
[tex]\rightarrow \sf 2\sqrt{2x} = 6[/tex]
divide both sides by 2
[tex]\rightarrow \sf \sqrt{2x} = 3[/tex]
square both sides
[tex]\rightarrow \sf 2x = 3^2[/tex]
simplify the following
[tex]\rightarrow \sf 2x = 9[/tex]
divide both sides by 2
[tex]\rightarrow \sf x = 4.5[/tex]
