Hello.
The percent decrease in the mass of the pumpkin for this case will be given by:
(100 - (3.9 / 6.5) * 100) =
(100-60) =40%
After carving it, the pumpkin decreases a percent of 40% in the mass.
Have a nice day
We are asked in the problem to devise a polynomial equation that has a GCF of 6 which means each of the terms can be divided to 6. For example: 6*(x^2 + x+1) = 6x^2 + 6x +6. This polynomial is created by multiplying each terms by the number 6 which is distinguished by factoring.
Answer: Mark has 28 marbles while Don has 85 marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of marbles that Mark has.
Let y represent the number of marbles that Don has.
If Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has, it means that
y = 3x + 1
The total number of marbles is 113. It means that
x + y = 113- - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting y = 3x + 1 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 3x + 1 = 113
4x + 1 = 113
4x = 113 - 1 = 112
x = 112/4
x = 28
y = 3x + 1 = 3 × 28 + 1
y = 85
