Which of the following terms best describes an exponent that has the form

By what percent has the rhinoceros weight increased

romanna [79]

let's first off convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions, then get their difference.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 10+1}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{21}{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{21}{10}-\cfrac{3}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(1)21-(5)3}{10}}\implies \cfrac{21-15}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}$

now, the original amount, 3/2, if that is the 100%, what is 3/5 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2}\\ \frac{3}{2}&100\\\\ \frac{3}{5}&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{3}{2}~~}{\frac{3}{5}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}\cdot \cfrac{5}{3}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 5x=200\implies x=\cfrac{200}{5}\implies x=40$

Ron's recycle shop had an old paper-shredding machine. Business was good, so he bought a new paper-shredding machine. The old ma

Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The old machine could shred a truckload of paper in 4 hours.

Rate of work done by old machine = $\dfrac{1}{4}$

The new machine could shred the same truckload in 2 hours.

Rate of work done by new machine = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Let 't' be the time taken by both of them working together , then we have the following equation:-

$\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1+2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{4}{3}=1\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{ hours}$

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then, $\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{ hours}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times60=20\text{ minutes}$

Hence, it will take 1 hour 20 minutes to shred the same truckload of paper if Ron runs both shredders at the same time.
