QuestionDecide if these statements are true or false and explain: 1.67%=3.671.67\% = 3.67 and 0.12<17100.12 < 1 \frac{7}{10}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The statements are mathematical comparisons between two numbers. . We need to determine if the comparisons are true or false.
3. We will use basic mathematical operations and principles to evaluate the statements.

STEP 2

Let's evaluate the first statement 1.67%=.671.67 \% =.67.

STEP 3

First, we need to convert the percentage to a decimal value. We can do this by dividing the percentage by100.
1.67%=1.671001.67\% = \frac{1.67}{100}

STEP 4

Calculate the decimal value of the percentage.
1.67%=1.67100=0.01671.67\% = \frac{1.67}{100} =0.0167

STEP 5

Now, compare the decimal value of the percentage to the number on the right side of the equation.
0.0167=3.670.0167 =3.67

STEP 6

As we can see, 0.0160.016 is not equal to 3.673.67. Therefore, the first statement is false.

STEP 7

Let's evaluate the second statement 0.12<17100.12 <1 \frac{7}{10}.

STEP 8

First, we need to convert the mixed number to a decimal. We can do this by adding the whole number to the fraction converted to a decimal.
1710=1+7101 \frac{7}{10} =1 + \frac{7}{10}

STEP 9

Calculate the decimal value of the fraction.
7=.7\frac{7}{} =.7

STEP 10

Now, add the whole number to the decimal value of the fraction.
710=+0.7=.7 \frac{7}{10} = +0.7 =.7

STEP 11

Now, compare the number on the left side of the inequality to the decimal value of the mixed number.
0.<.70. <.7

STEP 12

As we can see, 0.120.12 is less than .7.7. Therefore, the second statement is true.
In conclusion, the first statement is false and the second statement is true.
