9% decrease because 145-132=13
13=9% of 145

Hello,

What LacyMarie answered is right.

First Method :

145 pounds --> 100%
132 pounds --> x %

So x = 132*100/145 = 91 %

Now you just have to do 100 - 91 = 9 % decrease from 145 pounds to 132 pounds.

Second method :

145 - 132 = 13 right ?

145 pounds --> 100 %
13 pounds --> x %

So x = 13*100/145 = 9 %

The answer is 9 % decrease from 145 to 132.

I gave you 2 methods, do as you wish now !

Hope this helps !

What are the solutions of the equation x^4 + 6x^2 + 5 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.
Radda [10]

Answer:

second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x^{4} + 6x² + 5 = 0

let u = x², then

u² + 6u + 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(u + 1)(u + 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1

u + 5 = 0 ⇒ u = - 5

Change u back into terms of x, that is

x² = - 1 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-1} = ± i ( noting that \sqrt{-1} = i ), and

x² = - 5 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-5} = ± \sqrt{5(-1)} = ± \sqrt{5} × \sqrt{-1} = ± i\sqrt{5}

Solutions are x = ± i and x = ± i\sqrt{5}

Answer:

1.  10 square yards

2.  $9.10

3.  36 girls

4.  20 cherries

5.  159 bracelets

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The area of this figure would be the area of the SQUARE minus the area of the RECTANGLE (taken out).

The middle part is taken out (this is a rectangle).

View this as a square with sides 4 by 4 with a rectangle portion taken out. So the area can be said as:

Area = Area of Whole Square - Area of Middle Rectangle Taken Out

Lets calculate:

Area of Whole Square:

side * side = 4 * 4 = 16

Now,

Area of Middle Rectangle Taken Out:

Length * Width

The length is given as 3

The width would be 4 - two 1 from two sides, that is 4 - 1 - 1 = 2

So, area = 3 * 2 = 6

Area of figure = 16 - 6 = 10 square yards

2.

We have to find 20% of the bill.

The bill was 45.50 and we have to find 20% of 45.50.

We first convert percentage to decimal by dividing by 100:

20% = 20/100 = 0.20

Now we multiply this decimal with the bill to get our desired answer:

0.20 * 45.50 = $9.10

The tip is $9.10

3.

The ratio of boys (b) to girls (g) would be 2 is to 3.

There are 24 boys.

We can set up a ratio (fraction) with boys on top and girls on bottom.

Then we equate it with actual number of boys and girls (let it be g). So the ratio set-up would be:

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{24}{g}

To solve for g, the number of girls, we have to cross multiply and use algebra to solve. The process is shown below:

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{24}{g}\\2*g = 24*3\\2g=72\\g=\frac{72}{2}\\g=36

There are 36 girls in sixth grade

4.

For every "9" lemon, there are "4" cherries.

There are 45 lemons

If we think of "9" lemons as a "box", how many boxes of lemons are there?

45/9 = 5

Similarly, there would be "5" boxes of cherries. But there are "4" cherries per box. So there are:

4 * 5 = 20 cherries

We can also set up a ratio of cherry to lemon as 4 is to 9 and equate it with actual cherries (let it be "c") and lemons (45). Cross multiply and use algebra to solve for cherries ("c"). Algebra process shown below:

\frac{Cherries}{Lemons}=\frac{4}{9}=\frac{c}{45}\\9*c=4*45\\9c=180\\c=\frac{180}{9}\\c=20

See, we have the same answer, 20 cherries!

5.

Number sold total = 14 + 27 + 45 = 86

She still has 73 in her stock

So, she basically started with whatever she now has (73) and whatever she has sold the 3 days (86), that would be:

73 + 86 = 159 bracelets

Tia started with 159 bracelets

2. The average distance from the sun to the planet Mercury is about 58,000,000 km. The diameter of a human hair is about 0.0025
kodGreya [7K]
Distance of Sun and Mercury = 58,000,000 km.In Scientific notation, it would be: 5.8 × 10⁷ Km
Diameter of a human hair = 0.0025 cmIn scientific notation, it would be: 2.5 × 10⁻³ cm
Before Comparison, we need to bring cms to Kms or vice-versa, so we can easily calculate then, here, we will go from cm to Km.2.5 × 10⁻³ × 10⁻⁵ Km = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸
Now, we can compare the values, 5.8 × 10⁷ Km > 2.5 × 10⁻⁸
[ reason. - power of a smaller number is in negative, it means, it is denominator, which would be very small as compared to other ]
Hope this helps!
