What number is 25% of 5/8? (( Can someone please give the formula, this is like reading a foreign language to me lol ))

Thank you. ​

A percentage is essentially a fraction, but lazily written. Think of a percent as 25/100, or 0.25.

Now multiply the two.

0.25x5/8.

We need to convert 5/8 to a decimal, which is 0.625.

0.25x0.625=0.15625.

Now convert the decimal to a fraction, which is 5/32.

what are the statements

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
