If the problem says by or divided by
Given that the number is x,
10% increase will give us a new number of:
110/100*x
=1.1x
10% decrease will give us a new number of:
90/100*1.1x
=0.99x
This implies the new number is less than the original number
The answer if i understand correctly is 17x7x24=2,856 square inch
or thats what the calculator told me
Yes, it is. To find this out, you need to make the denominators the same. They can both multiply into 15, so we change the denominators to 15. Whatever we do to the bottom, we also have to do to the top.
2/3 = 10/15
1/5 = 3/15
We can then see that 10 is more than 3 :)
