Price of a bag of fertilizer increased from $8 t0 $15
thus the price increase =    $7
% increase = 7/8 * 100 =  87.5%
in decimal    =    0.875                      divide by 100

Answer:

J

Step-by-step explanation:

If the side of the shape is increased by 3/2 then the total distance around the shape will be 3/2 bigger.

Example: If the pentagon has side length 2 then it becomes 2*3/2 = 6/2 = 3.

The original perimeter was 2+2+2+2+2 = 10.

The new perimeter is 3+3+3+3+3 = 15.

Did you notice that \frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2}? J is correct.

a cake using eggs and potatoes in the ratio of 2 to 5 if he uses sex as how many potatoes will he need
tamaranim1 [39]
When eggs = 2, then potatoes = 5

Eggs: 2
Potatoes: 5

When that is changed to 6 eggs, 2 needs to be multiplied by a number to get 6.

2 * what = 6      or      6/2=

you get the number 3. A fraction is equivalent to a ratio. So if you have 2*3=6 then you need to multiply 5*3 to get the amount of potatoes you need. the answer is 15 potatoes because 5*3=15.
