Good evening

Answer:

<h2>14.7838 grams</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Rule : </u></em>_____________________________________________________

decrease something by p% then decrease by q% means multiply by

(1-\frac{p}{100})(1-\frac{q}{100})

__________________________________________________________

Note : <em>in our case the amount of water in the solution has decreased by 3.5% then by 4.25% consecutively</em>____________________________________

Let’s apply what we have learnt:

the amount of water remaining in the solution at the end of the second hour is

16(1-\frac{3.5}{100})(1-\frac{4.25}{100})=14.7838

Hope this helps.

Answer:

3.5% decrease means 96.5% remaining

0.965(16)

4.25% decrease means 95.75% remaining

0.9575(0.965(16))

= 14.7838 grams

System of equations
nalin [4]

Answer:

The solution of the system of equations is the point (-3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-3x+y=9 -----> equation A

2x-y=-6 -----> equation B

Adds equation A and equation B

-3x+y=9\\2x-y=-6\\------\\-3x+2x=9-6\\-x=3\\x=-3

Find the value of y

-3(-3)+y=9

9+y=9

y=9-9=0

The solution of the system of equations is the point (-3,0)

Replacing the maximum value of the data set with a smaller number will also affect the mean. A:always B:sometimes C:never
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B: sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at two examples.

Example A.

2, 3, 5: mean is 3

Replace 5 with 1. Now you have 1, 2, 3: mean is 2.

In this case, it affected the mean.

Example B.

2, 3, 5: mean is 3

Replace 5 with 4. Now you have 2, 3, 4: mean is 3.

In this case, it did not affect the mean.

As you can see, replacing the maximum value of the data set with a smaller number may or may not change the mean.

Answer: B: sometimes
