Step-by-step solution

8 steps

1. Write 100 as a product of its primes.

  1. Find the prime factors of 100.

    Divide 100 by the smallest prime number, 2.
    100÷2=50100 \div 2 = 50
    Divide 50 by 2.
    50÷2=2550 \div 2 = 25
    Divide 25 by the next smallest prime number, 5.
    25÷5=525 \div 5 = 5
    Divide 5 by 5.
    5÷5=15 \div 5 = 1
    The prime factors are 2, 2, 5, 5.

  2. Write the prime factors as a product.

    100=2×2×5×5=22×52100 = 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5 = 2^2 \times 5^2

    The product of its primes is 22×52\boxed{\mathbf{2^2 \times 5^2}}.

    2. Simplify the fraction 8496\frac{84}{96}.

  3. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 84 and 96.

    Factors of 84: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
    Factors of 96: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 96
    The greatest common divisor is 12.

  4. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD.

    84÷1296÷12=78\frac{84 \div 12}{96 \div 12} = \frac{7}{8}

    The simplified fraction is 78\boxed{\mathbf{\frac{7}{8}}}.

    3. Write 58\frac{5}{8} as a decimal fraction correct to two decimal places.

  5. Convert the fraction to a decimal.

    Divide 5 by 8.

    5÷8=0.6255 \div 8 = 0.625
  6. Round the decimal to two decimal places.

    The third decimal place is 5, so round up the second decimal place.

    0.625≈0.630.625 \approx 0.63

    The decimal fraction correct to two decimal places is 0.63\boxed{\mathbf{0.63}}.

    4. Calculate 30% of 500 kg.

  7. Convert the percentage to a decimal.

    30%=30100=0.3030\% = \frac{30}{100} = 0.30
  8. Multiply the decimal by 500 kg.

    0.30×500 kg=150 kg0.30 \times 500 \text{ kg} = 150 \text{ kg}

    30% of 500 kg is 150 kg\boxed{\mathbf{150 \text{ kg}}}.
