Using equivalent decimals, the correct option regarding which lake lost the least amount of water is:

<h3>How to find the equivalent decimals?</h3>

  • For a fraction, we have to divide the numerator by the denominator to find the equivalent decimal.
  • For a percentage, we just have to divide the percentage by 100%.

Hence, for the three lakes, the equivalent amounts are given by:

  • Lake Jensen: 1/3 = 0.3333.
  • Lake Parlow: 34% = 34/100 = 0.34.
  • Lake Stockton: 147/300 = 0.49.

The smallest equivalent decimal is of 0.33, hence Lake Jensen lost the least amount of water and option A is correct.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
Julli [10]

Answer:

The answer is 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to read the change in price in 2000 and 2007, from the graph.

So, the change in price in 2000 was $0.14 and in 2007 it was $0.71.

Now, we do the same thing we always do when comparing two values - we divide them. So:

0.71 / 0.14 = 5.07

Of course, we could multiply these values with 100, in order to avoid decimal numbers. Then we would get:

71 / 14 = 5.07

We could also divide this in the form of fractions:

71/100 / 14/100 = 5.07

There are several ways we could divide rational numbers, but the result will always be the same.

Change in price in 2007 was around 5 times greater than the change in 2000.

I hope this helps!!;-)

3(x 2) 11 is greater than 20
Allushta [10]
3(x+2)+11>20
minus 11 both sides
3(x+2)>9
divide both sides by 3
x+2>3
minus 2 both sides
x>1
