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\%

Marla's breakfast was 525 calories. This was 35% of her total calories for the day. How many calories did she have that day?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

1500

Step-by-step explanation:

525 is 35% of x, and we want to find x! (or, 100% of x)

So.

We set up an equation:

525 = 0.35x

How do we get to:

smth = 1.00x?

We divide both sides of the equation by 35, so it looks like this:

15 = 0.01x

And then we multiply both sides of the equation by 100, so it looks like this!

1500 = x

which means that Marla consumed 1500 calories that day.

Hope that helps!

Alik [6]
The Voyager will have traveled 42 miles because it’s moving at 14 miles an hour for three hours. using the same logic the Ballad will have traveled 57 miles. 42+57 is 99 so they are 99 miles apart.

abruzzese [7]

The correct representations of inequality 6x>3+4(2x-1) will be 6x ≥ 3 + 8x – 4.Option B is correct

<h3>What is the definition of inequality?</h3>

Inequality is a sort of equation in which the equal sign is missing. As we will see, inequality is defined as a statement regarding the relative magnitude of two claims.

The complete question is;

"Which are correct representations of the inequality 6x ≥ 3 + 4(2x – 1)? Check all that apply.

A)1 ≥ 2x

B)6x ≥ 3 + 8x – 4"

6x ≥ 3 + 4(2x – 1)

6x≥3+8x-4

The correct representations of inequality 6x>3+4(2x-1) will be 6x ≥ 3 + 8x – 4.

Hence, option B is correct
