$3.00-$2.40 = $0.60
$0.60/$3.00 = $0.2
$0.2x100 = 20% decrease
Answer: Choice C
x/w and z/(y+v)
======================================================
Explanation:
All answer choices have that first fraction with a denominator of w. This implies that AB = w is the hypotenuse. This only applies to triangle ABD.
Focus on triangle ABD. It has an opposite leg of AD = x, when the reference angle is ABD (or angle B for short).
So we can say sin(ABD) = opposite/hypotenuse = AD/AB = x/w
x/w is one of the answers
-----------
Also note how y+v is the same for each denominator in the second fraction. y+v is the hypotenuse of triangle ABC. When the reference angle is ABD (aka angle ABC), the opposite side of this same triangle is AX = z
Therefore,
sin(ABD) = sin(ABC) = opp/hyp = AC/BC = z/(y+v)
z/(y+v) is the other answer
Side note: triangle ACD is not used at all.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are picking 6 numbers from the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Since we care about numbers being next to each other, we might think of the 10 numbers as being distributed in 5 boxes (which you can think of as the holes):
| 1 2 | 3 4 | 5 6 | 7 8 | 9 10 |
So on the first box we have the numbers 1 and 2, on the second box we have the numbers 3 and 4, and so on. Since we are picking 6 numbers from those 10 numbers, that means we'll have to pick 6 boxes (and inside each box we pick a number), but we only have 5 available boxes, so by the pigeonhole principle, we'll have to pick 1 same box at least two times. Since on each picked box we'll need to pick a number, on this box which was picked two times, we will have to pick both of its numbers. And so those 2 numbers inside that box will be next to each other (meaning they're consecutive numbers).
