12+0.72(8)
12+5.76
17.76 qts of antifreeze
(b)
100(12+8(.72))/(12+8)
100(12+5.76)/20
100(17.76)/20
5(17.76)
88.8%
6% increase
To calculate the percentage increase:
First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.
Increase = New Number - Original Number
Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.
If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage decrease.
Answer:
9240 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Petrov ran 7 laps around a track.Each lap around the track is a distance of 1/4 mile.
Step 1
The total distance Petrov ran in miles is calculated as:
1 lap = 1/4 mile
7 laps = x mile
Cross Multiply
x = 7 × 1/4 mile
x = 1.75 miles
Step 2
What is the total distance Petrov ran in feet?
1 mile = 5280 feet
1.75 miles = x
Cross Multiply
x = 1.75 × 5280 feet
x = 9240 feet
Therefore, the total distance Petrov ran in feet is 9240 feet
The value of 7 in 26..74 is 0.7
The value of 7 in 37.596 is 7.
1/10 the value of 7 in 26.74 is 0.07 and 0.07 ≠ 7.
So, statement a) is incorrect.
1/100 the value of 7 in 26.74 is 0.007 and 0.007 ≠ 7.
So, statement c) is incorrect.
100 times the value of 7 in 26.74 is 70 and 70 ≠ 7.
So, statement d) is incorrect.
10 times the value of 7 in 26.74 is 7 and 7 = 7.
So, statement b) is correct and it correctly compares two values.
