Answer:

  33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people that must be fed has increased from 4 to 6, so is 6/4 = 3/2 as many as planned.

Assuming the additional people eat the food at the same rate as the original people, the time and number of people are assumed to be inversely proportional. That is, the time the food will last is 2/3 of the originally expected time. It has decreased by 1/3 × 100% = 33.3%.

___

If you like, you can count rations. For four people for 12 days, at 3 rations per person per day, a total of 144 rations are needed. When the number of people becomes 6, the number of days that will last is ,,,

  (144 rations)/(6 persons)/(3 rations/person/day) = 8 days

The percentage change in trip days is ...

  (8 -12)/12 × 100% = -4/12 × 100% = -33.3% . . . a decrease of 33.3%

Mauricio divided two identical rectangles into equal parts. He colored one part of each rectangle. What is true about the areas
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Areas of the colored parts are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Mauricio divided two identical rectangles into equal parts.

Now given Mauricio colored one part of each rectangle. we have to tell about the true statement of colored parts.

Two identical rectangles means the rectangle having equal areas. He divides these two into equal parts and shaded one of each part

Let area of rectangle is x unit^{2}

∴ Colored part area = \frac{1}{2}xunit^{2}  →  (1)

Similarly, other rectangle area identical to above rectangle is  x unit^{2}

∴ Colored part area = \frac{1}{2}xunit^{2}  →   (2)

From above eq (1) and (2), we get

Areas of the colored parts are equal which is equals to \frac{1}{2}xunit^{2}

Use a vertical format to subtract the polynomials.<br> 7x2 - 7x + 1<br> - (10x2<br> + 9x – 5)
juin [17]
7x^2 minus 10x^2 is 3x^2

-7x +9x is 2x

Lastly, 1 + -5 is -4

So your answer should be 3x^2 +2x-4. I hope this helps. Also I hope the picture is clear enough to see!
