Because you have to put more of the little number into the big number to divide it. Easy :)

Think about it logically. If you have 1 candy bar, how many half candy bars can make up one candy bar.

1 Candy bar/.5 candy bar = 2

Solve for x.<br><br> x=<br><br> Look at image

Answer:

$x = 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, the following equation is generated given the available information:

$\frac{(x + 7) + x)}{x + 7} = \frac{12 + 8}{12}$

$\frac{2x + 7}{x + 7} = \frac{20}{12}$

$\frac{2x + 7}{x + 7} = \frac{5}{3}$

Cross multiply

$3(2x + 7) = 5(x + 7)$

$6x + 21 = 5x + 35$

Collect like terms

$6x - 5x = - 21 + 35$

$x = - 21 + 35$

$x = 14$

Answer:

96 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation for a decreasing amount:

The exponential equation for a decreasing amount is given by:

$A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t$

In which A(0) is the initial rate and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Currently, the number of people entering a shopping mall is 109.

This means that $A(0) = 109$

It is estimated that the number of people entering the shopping mall will decrease by 3% each hour.

This means that $r = 0.03$

$A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t$

$A(t) = 109(1-0.03)^t$

$A(t) = 109(0.97)^t$

Find the total number of people entering the shopping mall at the end of 4 hours.

This is A(4). So

$A(4) = 109(0.97)^4 = 96.49$

Rounding to the nearest whole number, 96 people.

Answer:

Area of the base = (8×6)/2 = 24 yd²

Height of the prism = 8 yd

Perimeter of the base = 8+6+10 = 24 yd

Surface area = 2B + Ph = (2×24)+(24×8) = 48+192 = 240 yd²
