Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

( 0.6 ÷ 0.75 ) * 100 = 0.8 * 100 = 80

100% - 80% = 20%

Hope this helps!

Answer:

This is experimental fraction question

We start with a high fraction and work downwards to a lower fraction

Reduce 10/16; = 6/12 = 1/2 observation = the fraction gets smaller by 1/5

Reduce 10/12 = 6/9 = 1/3 observation = the fraction gets smaller by 1/4

Reduce 8/8 = 3/2 observation = the fraction gets smaller by 1/3

We notice that when the fraction is whole number it reduces by 1/3

When the fraction is 3/4 it reduces by 1/4

When the fraction is 5/8 or 10/16 it reduces the fraction by 1/5

When the fraction is already half

We can prove it reduces again by a smaller than 1/5 number

1/2 = 10/20 = reduction = 6/15 = it has reduced by 3/15 = 1/6 to 1/7

This is because the numerator is reduced 40% and the denominator is reduced by 25%

Place the indicated product in the proper location on the grid. (3x ^2a - 4y ^a z^3a)^ 2

omeli [17]

Answer:

$9x^{4a} -24x^{2a}y^{a} z^{3a} + 16y^{2a} z^{6a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can follow this steps:

For the expression:

$(3x^{2a} - 4y^{2} z^{3a} )^{2}$

Write the factors:

$(3x^{2a} - 4y^{2} z^{3a} )(3x^{2a} - 4y^{2} z^{3a} )$

Now multiply by the term $3x^{2a}$

$(3x^{2a} - 4y^{2} z^{3a} )(3x^{2a} - 4y^{2} z^{3a} ) = 9x^{4a} -12x^{2a} y^{a} z^{3a}$

Then multiply by the term $-4y^{2}$

$(3x^{2a} - 4y^{2} z^{3a} )(3x^{2a} - 4y^{2} z^{3a} ) = 9x^{4a} -12x^{2a} y^{a} z^{3a} \\\\ -12x^{2a} y^{a} z^{3a} + 16y^{2a} z^{6a}$

Finally add the terms:

$= 9x^{4a} -24x^{2a} y^{a} z^{3a} + 16y^{2a} z^{6a}$

You will need to review the laws for the exponents.

For example:

When you are multiplying with the same base you need to add the exponents.

$x^{2} *x^{5} = x^{2+5} = x^{7}$

Power to power, you multiply the exponents but keep the same base:

$(x^{2}y)^3 = (x^{2*3} y^3) = x^{6} y^3$

$2x - 6 = 60 - x \\ add \: x \: to \:both \: sides \\ 2x + x - 6 = 60 - x + x \\ 3x - 6 = 60 \\ add \: 6 \: to \: both \: sides \\ 3x - 6 + 6 = 60 + 6 \\ 3x = 66 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 3 \\ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{66}{3} \\ x = 22$

The sale price of apples at a local grocery store is $1.35 for the first pound and $1.10 for each additional pound. Which functi

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

1.) y = 1.10(x – 1) + 1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

When x pounds of apples are purchased, the number of "additional" pounds is (x-1). The cost of those additional pounds is then added to the cost of the first pound to get ...

y = 1.10(x -1) +1.35

_____

Comment on the function rule

Personally, I think it is easier to write the rule as y = 1.10x +0.25, considering the first pound to have a $0.25 premium added to its otherwise $1.10 cost. This saves an operation when evaluating the formula for some value of x.
