If a 16 foot piece of string is cut into 2 pieces so that the longer piece is 1 foot longer that twice the shorter piece if the shorter piece is x foot long, find the length of both pieces

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Well,

We can write everything down based on x.

Longer piece = 2x + 1
Longer piece + Shorter piece = 16
x + 2x + 1 = 16

Collect Like Terms
3x + 1 = 16

Subtract 1 from both sides
3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3
x = 5

Longer piece = 2x + 1
Longer piece = 2(5) + 1
Longer piece = 10 + 1
Longer piece = 11

11 + 5 = 16

Longer piece = 11 ft.
Shorter piece = 5 ft.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: long: 11 short 5

What is 8/10 as hundredths in fraction form and decimal form?

Answers

In hundreths in fraction form, you want 100 on the denominator (bottom)
in order to do this, multiply the top and the bottom number by 10
8/10=80/100

to get to decimal form, since your fraction is already out of 100, take the 80 and put a decimal two places to the right
80->.8

Answer:

80/100 and 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

You would do 8/10 and multiply both by 10 and that would give you 80/100. Mainly because 10x10 is 100 and 8x10 is 80.

To get the decimal form, divide 8 by 10 and it should give you 0.8 just like that. C:

How do you solve 5 is _____ % of 25

Answers

Let the missing % be x.

Now, according to your question ;

5 = x% of 25

5 = x / 100 * 25

thus, 25x = 500

Thus, x = 500/25

= 20

Thus, 5 is 20% of 25.

Just put 5 over 25 and then simplify to get 1/5. Now put that into a decimal (.2) then put that decimal into percent form, 20%
