Answer:
The number will be -13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. be x
Its twice will be = 2x
According to the question ,
To find the x intercept you plug in 0 for y then solve for x and to find the y intercept you plug in 0 for x and solve for y in the end you should get x =7/3 and y=-3 if you did the math correctly
24 pencils = 100%
30 pencils = ___%
30 - 24 = 6, so:
24 / 6 = 4 (it means that there are 4 sixes in 100%)
100% / 4 = 25%
Check: 25% * 24 = 25/100 * 24 = 1/4 * 24 = 6
30 - 6 = 24 (correct)
Answer: There was an increase by 25%
20 miles = 100%
11 miles = ___%
1 mile = 100% / 20 = 5%, so:
5 * 11 = 55 [percent]
100% - 55% = 45%
Check: 45% * 20 = 45/100 * 20 = 45/10 * 2 = 9/2 * 2 = 9
20 - 9 = 11 (correct)
Abswer: There was a decrease by 45%
Hi!
The simple explanation is just, since there are half as many cows, then the grain will last two times more.
But here's why. How many times are you going to be feeding the cattle, over 10 days, if you feed them once per day? 60 * 10 = 600, so 600 times.
If you're still feeding them once per day, and there are 30 cows instead, then find how many times 30 goes into 600. 600 / 30 = 20 days. That's a method you can use, no matter what, even if it's, say 50 cattle. You would still get an answer (if it was 50, 600 / 50 = 12, so 12 days).
Hope this helped!
