What is 8 3/4% expressed as a fraction? 8/100 7/80 7/40 8/25

ANSWER:

7 / 80

8 3/4% expressed as a fraction is 7 / 80.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Write 8 3/4% as a percentage with a decimal:

= 8.75%

Convert 8.75% to a fraction:

= 8.75% ÷ 100

= 8.75 / 100

Make the numerator a whole number by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by a 100:

= ( 8.75 × 100 ) / ( 100 × 100 )

= 875 / 10000

Divide the numerator and denominator in the fraction by their highest common factor ( HCF ):

HCF = 125

THEREFORE:

= ( 875 ÷ 125 ) / ( 10000 ÷ 125 )

= 7 / 80

The answer would be 7 cages

Hello!

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

why?

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
