By what percent will a fraction increase if its numerator is increased by 60% and its denominator is decreased by 20%?

1 answer:

7 0

Lets just use $\frac{10}{20}$ for an example. If the number is increased by 60% and the denominator is decreased by 20% we get the new fraction being: $\frac{16}{16}$ . Since then new one is equal to 1, and the original is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ , we see that this manipulation of the fraction causes an increase of 100%.

#4 home do I find which one it is?

lina2011 [118]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
solutions&graphs&slopes\\
----&----&----\\
\textit{exactly one}&
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{the two lines intersect}\\
\textit{at one point}
\end{array}&\textit{different slopes}\\\\
infinitely\quad many&
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{the two lines coincide}\\
\textit{one is right on top}\\
\textit{ of the other}
\end{array}&
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{equal slopes}\\
\textit{equal y-intercepts}
\end{array}
\end{array}$

$\bf \textit{no solution}\qquad\quad &\textit{lines are parallel} \qquad &
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{equal slopes}\\
\textit{different y-intercepts}
\end{array}
\end{array}$

for example, let's look at the first set

y+3x =5 or y = -3x+ 5
and y = -3x + 2
y = m + b

the slopes are equal, the y-intercepts differ
that means, they're just parallel lines, no solution

Use pi=3<br> Calculate the area of a circle with a diameter of 10cm

GalinKa [24]

Area of a circle is 75 cm².

Area of a circle is computed by multiplying pi to the square of the radius.

A = πr²

diameter = 10 cm
radius = d/2 = 10/2 = 5 cm
pi = 3

A = 3(5cm²)
A = 3(25cm²)
A = 75 cm²
