Answer 5

i need to know how to do this problem im not going to be able to use calculator in the real test

Answer 6

Set up a proportion out of 100 (since the decimals are mostly to the hundreds place):
\[\frac{ 7 }{ 20 }=\frac{ x }{ 100 }\]

Answer 7

Sorry, I mean hundredths place. You could also set it up to the thousandths place if you prefer, it's the same thing, but your answer will be to three decimal places

Answer 8

ahh i see id get 0.035 thank u!

Answer 9

sorry, the decimal places are because of the numbers used to solve this?

Answer 10

If you made the proportion to the hundredths place, you would get 35, so your answer is .35 and if you made the proportion to the thousandths place, you would get 350, so your answer is .350
