OpenStudy (anonymous):

145*? I don't get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 100 }{ 100 }\] is a whole, so as a number it is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the numerator is always the number and "percent" means /100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1.45?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry my computer keeps refreshing the page but can you help me with number 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it works the same way, percentage is always a ratio \[\% = \frac{ }{ 100 }, \]\[x \% = \frac{ (x ) }{ 100 }.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 43/100?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

43/100 = 0.43/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you. can you help me with some more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what a square root is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{16} = 4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we're looking for a number that, when squared, will give the one under the root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one that when multiplied with itself, will be the one under the root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for number 4 it will be C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I think I confused you 4*4 is a square (of 4) and is 16 , but that's not a good estimation for 10 the post above was just an example for how a square root works, could have also used \[\sqrt{9} = 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh so its D right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the problem 4) you're looking for a square (REQUIREMENT so it works with roots) that is close to 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D) - is a square (number multiplied with itself) - the result is 9, which is close to 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you. can you help with number 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There you need to be familiar with exponent rules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What can this be written using no exponents? \[6^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh I'm not sure about that..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry my computer keeps failing so im on my phone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can be written like this: \[6 \times 6 \times 6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6^{-3} = \frac{ 1 }{ 6 \times 6 \times 6 }\] If the exponent is negative, it means take reciprocal after applying the typical exponent operation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's either B or C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to say b but I'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second part is 5^-4 step by step: what will this be? \[5^4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C!!
