<span>To draw two number lines showing that 0.200 and 1/5 are equivalent, we draw a number line divided into 5 equal segments with range from 0 to 1.0, the points on this line will be at 0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8 and 1.0. Next we draw second number line with range from 0 to 5/5 with 5 equal segments. The points on this line will be 1/5, 2/5,3/5,4/5 and 5/5. The equal segments will show that these values 0.200 and 1/5 are equivalent.</span>
Isolate x by adding 8 to both sides.
3 = x/3
Then, multiply by 3 on both sides.
9 = x
To prove that this is right, you can imput 9 into the equation and it equals -5.
If you want to increase something by 3%, you would ADD 100% to it, so:
3% + 100% = 103%
Then you divide it by 100 to turn it into a decimal, so:
103% / 100 = 1.03
So to increase by 3%, the multiplier would be 1.03
If you wanted to decrease by 3%, you would SUBTRACT 100% from 3%, so:
100% - 3% = 97%
And then you would divide 97% by 100 to turn it into a decimal (multiplier), so:
97% / 100 = 0.97
So to decrease by 3%, the multiplier would be 0.97
183.9 millimeters is the answer
It's eleven (11) then 13 then 17
