Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Finley's pumpkin had a mass of 6.5 kg before he carved it.

After carving it, the pumpkin had a mass of 3.9 kg.

Now, we are asked to determine the % decrease in the mass of the pumpkin.

Therefore, the % decrease in mass is given by  

\frac{\textrm {Initial Mass - Final Mass}}{\textrm {Initial Mass}} \times 100= \frac{6.5 - 3.9}{6.5} \times 100 = 40%. (Answer)

What is the solution to the equation below? √x - 4 = -2 O A. X=& O B. X=4 X = 4 C. x = 6 D. X = 2
saul85 [17]

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Given the expression;

\sqrt[]{x}-4\text{ = -2}

Add 4 to both sides

\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x}-4+4\text{ = -2+4} \\ \sqrt[]{x}=\text{ 2} \end{gathered}

Square both sides

\begin{gathered} (\sqrt[]{x})^2=2^2 \\ x\text{ = 4} \end{gathered}

Hence the value of x is 4

Please help me with NUMBER 7 !! Thank you so much! 20 points!! :))
mart [117]

Answer:

x<-3 or x>-1

Step by step explanation:

Start with -5x>15. To get x by itself, we have to divide each side by -5. When we do that we get x<-3. (Don't forget to flip the sign when dealing with negative  · and ÷.) Now answer the second equation. x-5>-6 To get x by itself, add 5 to both sides to get x>-1. Now we have x<3 or x>-1.

Henry's mom is in charge of buying lemonade for his soccer team this week she plans on every player receiving 7/8 of a cup of le
Katena32 [7]
If each player will receive 7/8 of a cup, and there are a total of 20 cups of lemonade, then the number of servings that can be made is equal to:

20 cups divided by (7/8 cup per player)
20 / (7/8) = 20 * (8/7) = 160/7 = 22 and 6/7 (round down since we're looking for complete servings)
This means that 22 complete servings can be made.

Well, it's the average amount of time, so add 26.1 + 24.3 + 32.8 + 18.2. That equals 101.4 seconds or 1 minute and 41.4 seconds.

How would I solve <br> -6.11 + b = 14.321
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

b=20.431

Step-by-step explanation:

you just add  6.11 to both sides. on the left side the -6.11 and +6.11 cancel out and on the right side you will just add 6.11 to 14.321. when you add 14.321 and 6.11 you get 20.431. therefore, b=20.431
