Will someone please help me with the following questions:
1. Talon reads 1,000 words in 5 minutes, and Samantha reads 525 words in 4 minutes. Who is the faster reader?
2. You make $220 a day on a job. What will you receive for working 2/5 day?
3.Multiply. (4)(-3/2)
4.Write the word name for the following: 36,713
5.Mr. Chavez owned 7/8 of a family business. He sold 1/2 of the business to his son. What portion of the business does he still own?
6. Arrange in order from smallest to largest.
3.07,37/10,3.0712,3.078,371/100,3.0717,3.072,3.071
1. Find the number of words that each reads in one minute. Divide 1000 by 5 and divide 525 by 4.
2. Multiply: 2/5 * $220
3. (4)(-3/2) = -12/2 = ?
4. Thirty-six thousand . . .
5. Multiply: 7/8 * 1/2 = ?
6. After you change the fractions to whole numbers and decimals, the order should be obvious.
We'll be glad to check your answers.
1. so um..
Talon: 1000/5 = 200
Samantha: 525/ 4 = 131.25 so talon reads fastest!
2. 0.4 x220= 88
3. -24
4. Thirty-six thousand seven hundred and thirteen
5. 0.4375
6. ,,,
So the order is:3.07,3.071,3.0717,3.072,3.0712,
3.078,3.7,3.713
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with these questions and explain how to get the answers!
1. To determine who is the faster reader, we need to compare the reading rates of Talon and Samantha. We can find their reading rates by dividing the number of words read by the time taken.
For Talon:
Reading rate = Number of words read / Time taken
Reading rate = 1000 words / 5 minutes
Reading rate = 200 words per minute
For Samantha:
Reading rate = Number of words read / Time taken
Reading rate = 525 words / 4 minutes
Reading rate = 131.25 words per minute
Comparing their reading rates, we can see that Talon reads at a faster rate of 200 words per minute, while Samantha reads at a rate of 131.25 words per minute. Therefore, Talon is the faster reader.
2. To find out what you will receive for working 2/5 of a day, we can multiply your daily earnings by the fraction of the day worked.
Amount to receive = Daily earnings × Fraction of day worked
Amount to receive = $220 × (2/5)
Amount to receive = $88
Therefore, you will receive $88 for working 2/5 of a day.
3. To multiply (4)(-3/2), we simply multiply the numbers together:
(4)(-3/2) = -12/2 = -6
Therefore, the product of (4)(-3/2) is -6.
4. To write the word name for the number 36,713, we can break it down into its place values:
36,713 = 30,000 + 6,000 + 700 + 10 + 3
So, the word name for 36,713 is "Thirty-six thousand seven hundred thirteen."
5. To find out what portion of the business Mr. Chavez still owns after selling 1/2 to his son, we need to subtract the portion sold from the original ownership.
Remaining ownership = Original ownership - Portion sold
Remaining ownership = 7/8 - 1/2
Remaining ownership = 7/8 - 4/8
Remaining ownership = 3/8
Therefore, Mr. Chavez still owns 3/8 of the business.
6. To arrange the given numbers from smallest to largest, we can compare them to each other and sort them:
Given numbers: 3.07, 37/10, 3.0712, 3.078, 371/100, 3.0717, 3.072, 3.071
Arranging them from smallest to largest:
37/10 = 3.7
371/100 = 3.71
3.07
3.071
3.0712
3.0717
3.072
3.078
So, the numbers arranged from smallest to largest are: 3.07, 37/10, 3.0712, 3.071, 3.0717, 3.072, 3.078.
