In October 2017, the World Bank updated the international poverty line, a global absolute minimum, to $1.90 a day. [3] This is the equivalent of $1.00 a day in 1996 US prices, hence the widely used expression "living on less than a dollar a day". [4] The vast majority of those in extreme poverty reside in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
The first table lists countries by the percentage of their population with an income of less than $2.15 (the extreme poverty line), $3.65 and $6.85 US dollars a day in 2017 international PPP prices. The data is from the most recent year available from the World Bank API.
One décime is equal to 10 decimal minutes, which is nearly equal to a quarter-hour (15 minutes) in standard time. Thus, "five hours two décimes" equals 5.2 decimal hours, roughly 12:30 p.m. in standard time. [8][9] One hundredth of a decimal second was a decimal tierce.
In general, if an increase of x percent is followed by a decrease of x percent, and the initial amount was p, the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x)(1 − 0.01 x) = p (1 − (0.01 x) 2); hence the net change is an overall decrease by x percent of x percent (the square of the original percent change when expressed as a decimal number).
Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (the 3rd month) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π, and was first celebrated in the United States. [2][3] It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, an employee of a science museum in San Francisco, the Exploratorium.
For determination of the day of the week (1 January 2000, Saturday) the day of the month: 1 ~ 31 (1) the month: (6) the year: (0) the century mod 4 for the Gregorian calendar and mod 7 for the Julian calendar (0). adding 1+6+0+0=7. Dividing by 7 leaves a remainder of 0, so the day of the week is Saturday.
In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fn . Many writers begin the sequence with 0 and 1, although some authors start it from 1 and 1 [1][2] and some (as did Fibonacci) from 1 ...
