Answer:
78% (to the nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cube = (length )³
Let the length of the cube = y
Original volume = y³
if the length is decreased by 40%, then new length = 1- (40% of y)
= 1-0.4y
= 0.6%
New volume (after decreasing the length) = (0.6y)³
= 0.216y³
% Volume decrease = (Original volume - New volume)/Original Volume x 100%
= (y³ - 0.216y³)/ y³ x 100%
= 0.784y³/y³ x 100%
=78.4%
≈78%
Answer:
3.75 L
Step-by-step explanation:
3 liters / 36 m^2 = x liters / 9 x 5 m^2
3 liters / 36 m^2 = x liters / 45 m^2
(45)(3) = (x)(36)
(135) = (x)(36)
x = (135)/(36)
x= 3.75 L
well, looking at the picture of this vertically opening parabola, it has a vertex at 0,0 and it passes through 2,1 hmm ok
