and the denominator is increased by 16, then the fraction becomes smaller by 1/3 of it. Find the original fraction.

N = d - 5

2n/(d + 16) = n/d - 1/3 n/d
2n/(d + 16) = 2/3 n/d Divide by 2n
1 / (d + 16) = 1/3 d
Here's the tricky part.
d + 16 = 3d the two denominators are equal. the numerators are both 1.
16 = 2d
d = 8
so the numerator is d - 5
n = 8 - 5
n = 3

Let's see if it checks out.
n = 3
d = 8

2*3 = 6
8 + 16 = 24
New fraction 6/24 = 1/4
(3/8 - 1/3 ) = 1/8
3/8 - 1/8 = 1/4 so it checks with the original conditions put on it.

Jana opened a savings account with
taurus [48]

Answer:

f(w) = $100 + $15*w

Step-by-step explanation:

The first $100 she deposited remain always the same, they don't change depending on the weeks. What increases along the weeks are the $15.

In the first week she will deposit $15, so she will have $100 + $15 = $115.

On the second week she will deposit $15 more, so she will have $115 + $15 = $130. Another way of writing this is $100 + $15 + $15 = $100 + $15*2.

On the third week she will have $100 + $15 + $15 + $15 = $100 + $15*3.

Therefore, after w weeks, she will have $100 + $15*w.

The function we are looking for is f(w) = $100 + $15*w

What is the area of this partial circle with a radius of 14 inch
AveGali [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this circle is partial we will divide the area of the whole circle by 2

the area of a circle is expressed by \pi r^2 so insert 14 for the radius.

14^2\pi

196\pi

divide the area by 2

98\pi=307.876

Hope that helps :)
