Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).

like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...

what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?

the same : 16.

and what is half of 16 ? 8.

so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.

so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.

what was left was

15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound

Alex

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put -6 where x is and do the arithmetic.

$h(x)=1-\dfrac{2}{3}x\\\\h(-6)=1-\dfrac{2}{3}(-6)=1-\dfrac{-12}{3}=1-(-4)=1+4\\\\\boxed{h(-6)=5}$

Find (fog)(x) when f(x)=x^2-7x+12 and g(x)=3/x^2-16

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$f( \frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 } ) = ({\frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 }})^{2} - 7(\frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 }) + 12 \\ = \frac{9}{ {x}^{4} - 32 {x}^{2} + 256 } - \frac{21}{ {x}^{2} - 16} + 12$

A farmer raises only ducks and pigs. There are 55 animals in all on his farm, and 146 legs.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Number of ducks = 37

Number of pigs = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of ducks

y be the number of pigs

According to given statement;

x+y=55 Eqn 1

2x+4y=146 Eqn 2 (As ducks will have 2 legs and pigs will have 4)

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2

2(x+y=55)

2x+2y=110 Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(2x+4y)-(2x+2y)=146-110

2x+4y-2x-2y=36

2y=36

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{36}{2}\\y=18$

Putting y=18 in Eqn 1

x+18=55

x = 55-18

x = 37

Hence,

Number of ducks = 37

Number of pigs = 18

PLS HELP!!! due to inflation nominal prices are usually there were to demand increases. After the second increase the price for

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The first increase was of 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of the product is x.

The first increase was of y.

The second increase is of 25%, that is, 1.25.

The final price was double the original, so 2x.

This situation can be modeled by the following equation:

$xy(1.25) = 2x$

We want to find y.

Simplifying by x

$1.25y = 2$

$y = \frac{2}{1.25}$

$y = 1.6$

After the first increase, the value was 1.6 of the original value, that is a increase as a percent of (1.6 - 1)*100 = 60%.
