8*(1/x) = 4*(1/8)
8/x = 4/8
64 = 4x
x = 16
Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches
Answer:
80/100 or 80%
Step-by-step explanation:
7/10 = 70/100
70/100 + 10/100 = 80/100
The initial cost is 189.69. It is marked up 30%.
By simple calculations,
Final cost of the tablet computer = Initial price + 30% of marked price
= 189.69 + (30/100 x 189.69)
This gives us the net value of 245.7. Hence the price of the computer after it's been marked up will be 245.7
Answer:
2/3 (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
The y values increase by 2 every time and the x values increase by 3. The rule for slope is rise(y)/run(x) so you get b, 2/3
