After the first pour the water remains 1/2, after the second 1/3, after the third is 1/4, and after 9 pour the water remains 1/10.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

After the first pour container has = 1/2

After the second pour = 1/3

Third pour = 1/4

After n pour = 1/(n+1)

n = 9

= 1/10

Thus, after the first pour the water remains 1/2, after the second 1/3, after the third is 1/4, and after 9 pour the water remains 1/10.

Serggg [28]
24 + 44 = 4(6 + 11) (Answer A)

4(12 + 22)  ← 4 is not the greatest,  12 + 22 = 2(6 + 11)

6(4 + 11) ← this is 24 + 66

2(12 + 6) ← this is 24 + 24

Sally either walks, cycles or drives to work. She walks about 15% of the time and drives about 3/5 of the time. What percentage
goblinko [34]

Answer: She cycles 25% of the time

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Sally walks 15% of the time.

She drives 3/5 of the time.

We then convert 3/5 to percentage.

Converting to percentage means multiplying by a factor of 100.

Hence, Sally drives 3/5*100 = 60% of the time.

If Sally walks 15% of the time and drives 60% of the time, adding up the percentage time used by these two media of transportation will give us

60% + 15% = 75%

Hence if she cycles for the remainder of the time, expressing it as percentage would mean subtracting the time used in other means by 100%

Hence it will be 100% - 75% = 25%
