Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

tyler is x years old

t = x

samantha is 4 years older then tyler...

x + 4....this is samanthas age

three times samanthas age = 60

3(x + 4) = 60

3(x + 4) = 60 <=== this is an equation for tylers age....x = tylers age

3x + 12 = 60

3x = 60 - 12

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16 <==== tyler is 16 years old

samantha is : x + 4.....16 + 4 = 20 <=== samantha is 20

What is 575 percent written as a mixed number

Answers

a mixed fraction is an improper fraction turned into a whole number and a proper fraction
proper fraction: top number is SMALLER than the bottom number (fraction means part of) exg 1/3

improper fraction: top number is GREATER than the bottom number (more than 1) exg. 4/3

mixed: an improper fraction written as a whole number and a proper fraction exg
4/3=imporper  mixed=1 and 1/3


so
575%
percent means parts out of 100
575%=575/100=57.5/10=5.75/1=5.75/1=5.75=5 and .75/1
we know that 0.75=3/4

so
5 and 3/4 is the answer
575%=(575)/(100)^(/25) = (23)/(4) =5 (3)/(4)

the answer would be 10 inches long and 12 inches wide
