Answer:

The fraction will decrease 33.33\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x/y ----> the fraction

we know that

100%-50^=50%=50/100=0.50

100%-25%=75%=75/100=0.75

substitute

\frac{x}{y}*\frac{0.50}{0.75} =\frac{2}{3}(\frac{x}{y})

therefore

The percent that the fraction will decrease is equal to

(1-\frac{2}{3})*100=33.33\%

fredd [130]
<span>Let the height of the tree be h foot. Trigonometric ratio for tangent = Opposite side / adjacent side----(1) Since the tree is standing vertically on a level ground, the three points, [ Top of the tree, the point where the tree touches the ground and the point where the shadow ends] form a right angled triangle. Applying (1) for the above three points, tan(24.7)=(height of the tree)/(length of shadow) Hence, height of the tree = tan(24.7)*(length of the shadow) = (0.46)*140 = 65 foot (Rounding off to the nearest foot)</span>

Mumz [18]

Answer:

I'm glad you asked!

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's do it step by step.

Already she has to pay $5 for going in.

She has 2 whole pounds.

1.25 x 2=2.5 or 2 \frac{1}{2}

Add $5 and $ 2.5 .

5+2.5 = 7.5

Now let's do $1.25 divided by 10.

$$1.25 divided by $10 =0.125

Now let's do 0.125 times 4

0.125 x 4 = 0.5

Now let's add 7.5 to 0.5

7.5+0.5=8
