    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What is 45% of 175?

    Explanation
    To find 45% of 175, we can multiply 175 by 0.45. This gives us 78.75. Therefore, 78.75 is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What percent of 52 is 12?  Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

    Explanation
    To find the percentage, we divide the given number (12) by the total number (52) and then multiply by 100. In this case, 12 divided by 52 equals 0.2307692308. Multiplying this by 100 gives us 23.07692308. Rounding this to the nearest tenth gives us 23.1. Hence, 23.1 is the percentage of 52 that is 12.

  • 15. 

    Convert 15,840 feet into miles.  (1 mile = 1760 yards; 1 yard = 3 feet).

    Explanation
    To convert feet into miles, we need to divide the given distance in feet by the number of feet in a mile. Since 1 mile is equal to 1760 yards and 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we can multiply 1760 by 3 to get the number of feet in a mile, which is 5280. Dividing 15,840 by 5280 gives us 3 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 miles.

Therefore, by multiplying 4.511 meters by 1000, we get 4511 millimeters. The answer is also expressed correctly in millimeters as 4511 mm and 4511mm.

    How many hours did it take Ted to drive (in his new sports car) 272 miles if his average speed was 68 mph?

    Explanation
    Based on the information provided, we can calculate the time it took for Ted to drive 272 miles by dividing the distance by the average speed. 272 miles divided by 68 mph equals 4 hours. Therefore, it took Ted 4 hours to drive the 272 miles in his new sports car.

    Mr Drysdale earned $906.25 in interest in one year on money that he had deposited in his local bank. If the bank paid an interest rate of 6.25%, how much money did Mr Drysdale deposit?

    Explanation
    To find the amount of money Mr Drysdale deposited, we can use the formula for simple interest: Interest = Principal * Rate * Time. In this case, the interest earned is $906.25 and the interest rate is 6.25%. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the principal: Principal = Interest / (Rate * Time). Plugging in the values, we get Principal = $906.25 / (0.0625 * 1) = $14,500.00. Therefore, Mr Drysdale deposited $14,500.00.

  • 35. 

    There's some number that if you subtract 15 from it first, and then multiply that total by 7, the result is 28.  Find the number.

    Explanation
    If we let the unknown number be represented by x, the given information can be translated into the equation (x - 15) * 7 = 28. By simplifying this equation, we can find that x - 15 = 4. Adding 15 to both sides of the equation, we get x = 19. Therefore, the number we are looking for is 19.
