If 20 is increased by 50%, what is the new amount?

1 answer:

6 0

Hello!

New value =

20 + Percentage increase =

20 + (50% × 20) =

20 + 50% × 20 =

(1 + 50%) × 20 =

(100% + 50%) × 20 =

150% × 20 =

150 ÷ 100 × 20 =

150 × 20 ÷ 100 =

3,000 ÷ 100 =

30;
20 increased by 50% = 30 
Absolute change (actual difference): 30 - 20 = 10

Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)

Rena spent 6 days reading her book completing the same fraction of the book each day if she had a total of 8/9 of her book after

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The fraction of the book that Rena read every day is $\frac{4}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rena spent 6 days reading her book completing the same fraction of the book every day and you want to know the fraction of the book she read each day. Knowing that Rena had a total of 8/9 of her book read after 6 days, then you simply divide the total amount of the book read during those days by 6, the number of days:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6

To divide a fraction by a whole number, you must convert the whole number into a fraction, finding the reciprocal of that fraction, and multiply it by the first fraction. That is, you must find the reciprocal of the number that is after the division symbol; and then you multiply the first number (the one before the division symbol) by the reciprocal of the second number (the one after the division symbol). Remember that to find the reciprocal of a number, you simply have to change the numerator and denominator of the number.

Since 6 can be considered to be a fraction equal to $\frac{6}{1}$ , by inverting the number, then you get $\frac{1}{6}$

Then:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}$

Now you multiply the numerators and denominators of the fraction to get the new numerator and denominator of the final solution.

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8*1}{9*6} =\frac{8}{54}$

Finally, simplifying the fraction:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8*1}{9*6} =\frac{8}{54}=\frac{4}{27}$

So:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{4}{27}$

The fraction of the book that Rena read every day is $\frac{4}{27}$

3. What is the solution to the equation 3x = 15? Express the

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

x=2.4650

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that you mean $3^x=15$

so let s use the ln() function

$ln(3^x)= xln(3)=ln(15)$

so x = ln(15)/ln(3)

x = 2.4650

I have a roof that measures 175 ft by 45 ft. During the hurricane 11 inches of rain fell.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4.1 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ft = 30.48 cm

1 in = 2.54 cm

The volume of rain that fell on the roof is given by ...

V = LWH

V = (175 ft × 30.48 cm/ft)(45 ft × 30.48 cm/ft)(11 in × 2.54 cm/in)

= 175×45×11×30.48²×2.54 cm³ = 204,412,236.336 cm³

At 20 drops per cm³, this will be ...

20×204,412,236.336 ≈ 4,088,244,727 . . . . raindrops

About 4.1 billion raindrops fell on your roof.
