x= length, y=width

Both the length and width were increased by 60% so now they are:

1.6x and 1.6y

Then they were both reduced by 25% so now they are 75%(100-25) of their previous size so they are:

0.75(1.6x) and 0.75(1.6y)

Their area would be length * width so it would be:

0.75(1.6x) * 0.75(1.6y)

Simplified this would be:

1.2x * 1.2y

Simplified more it would be :

1.44xy which is also 144% of xy which is a 44% increase of the original area (xy)


So the answer is:

44%

Is 392 a perfect cube? If not, find the smallest natural number by which
kogti [31]

Answer:

No

7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by factoring 392 to see whether it is a cube. 392 is obviously divisible by 2 because the last digit is even, and dividing by two we get:

392 = 2 x 196

Again, 196 is divisible by 2, so we get:

392 = 2 x 2 x 98

And 98 is also divisible by 2:

392 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 49

49 is 7 times 7, so we can finish the prime factorization of 392:

392 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 7

This is the same as:

392 = 2^3 x 7^2

We can see 392 is not a cube because both numbers are not raised to a power divisible by 3.

In order to turn it into a cube, we'd need to make both prime factors raised to the power of a multiple of 3. 2 is already raised to one, but 7 is raised to the power of 2. In order to make that two divisible by 3, we can multiply by 7 so that our number is 2^3 x 7^3(2744), and this would be a cube(It's 14 cubed).

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The median is 61.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median, you take the number that is numerically in the center of the data set. Since this set has two numbers like that (60 and 62), you find the mean of those two numbers. This leaves us with 61.
