Well, when you want to make 15 a percentage, You need to know of what, for an example, 20 percent of 100 is 20% percent because 20/100= 0.20 which equals 20%. What is 15 of? Fill in the blank. 15 percent of ___=? which would be 15/?
Forty-five and twenty-three hundredths.
In general, with decimals, the first place value after the decimal is read as a tenth, the second is read as a hundredth, the third is read as a thousandth, and so on. In front of the decimal, we know that 4 is in the tens place and 5 is in the ones place, so we say forty-five. Past the decimal, 2 is in the tenths place (think about how 2/10 = .2, which is "two-tenths") and 3 is in the hundredths place (think about how 23/100 = .23). You read the number after the decimal like normal ("twenty-three," "two-hundred fifteen," etc), then you add the place ("tenths, hundredths, ten-thousands") at the very end.
P= L+W
P= Perimeter, L= Length and W=Width
Length + Width = Perimeter
So, then P(22) - W(5) = L(17)
Hope that helps.
There is only one solution to the equation. A quadratic equation has 2 solutions a positive and a negative, but since we are looking for length, the answer can only be postive. Area= side^2
400= x^2
sqrt(400)=x
20 inches = x
The length of one side is 20 inches
check: 20*20 = 400, which is the area of the square painting.
