Lets pick a random number, like 50. Lets decrease and increase it by 50%. After the decrease, you will get 25, but when you increase it by 50%, it's only 37.5. No, because when you decrease it, you have a smaller base, so it increases less than it decreases. 50% of 100 is 50, but 50% of 50 is 25. You can see there is a significant difference.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Natalee transferred water from a square pyramid to a cube. To calculate how many times she will need to dump the water from the pyramid into the cube to completely fill the cube, we divide the volume of the cube by the volume of the square pyramid. Hence:
Number of times = volume of cube / volume of pyramid
The perimeter of the pyramid base = 25 in, hence the length of one side of the bae = 25 / 4 = 6.25 in
Volume of square pyramid = base² × (height / 3) = (6.25 in)² * (5 in / 3) = 65.1 in³
Volume of cube = 125 in³
Number of times = 125 in³ / 65.1 in³ = 1.92
6x-4=2x+8
mnus 2x both sides
4x-4=8
add 4 to both sides
4x=12
divide 4 both sides
x=3
3 * N = 1
The multiplicative inverse is just the reciprocal of the number. The reciprocal is just " flipping " the number. So the reciprocal of 3 (or 3/1) is 1/3. And any time u multiply a number by its multiplicative inverse (reciprocal), the result is 1
3 * 1/3 = 3/3 = 1.....so N is ur multiplicative inverse
