Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with x.

x = x/1

Increase the numerator by 60% to 1.6x.

Decrease the numerator by 20% to 0.8.

The new fraction is

1.6x/0.8

Do the division.

1.6x/0.8 = 2x

The fraction increased from x to 2x. It became double of what it was. From x to 2x, the increase is x. Since x was the original number x is 100%.

The increase is 100%.

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

let fraction be x/y

numerator increased by 60%

=x+60%ofx

=8x

denominator increased by 20%

=y+20%of y

so the increased fraction is 4x/3y

let the fraction is increased by a%

then

x/y +a%of (x/y)=4x/3y

or, a%of(x/y)=x/3y

a\% =  \frac{x}{3y}  \times \frac{y}{x}

therefore a=33

anda%=33%

Express the following vector in the form v=v1i+v2j+v3k. 3u - v if u=(4,7,-3) and v=(2,-7,5).3u - v = ____ i + ____ j + _____ k.(
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

<h2><em>5i+14j-7k</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vectors u = (4,7,-3) and v=(2,-7,5), both vectors are 3-dimensional in nature and can also be rewritten as;

u = 4i+7j-3k and v = 2i-7j+5k

To get 3u-v, we will substitute the given vectors into the expression;

3u-v = 3(4i+7j-3k) -  (2i-7j+5k)

open the parenthesis

3u-v = 12i+21j-9k - 2i + 7j - 5k

collect like terms

3u-v = (12i - 2i) + (21j + 7j) (-9k-5k)

3u - v = 10i+28j-14k

To simplify the answer, we will divide through by 2

3u - v = 10i/2+28j/2-14k/2

<em>3u - v = 5i+14j-7k</em>

<em>Hence the simplified form of the expression is 5i+14j-7k</em>

When you roll two number cubes, what are the odds, in simplest form, in favor of getting two numbers less than 4? A. 1:3 B. 3:1
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

1:4; C

Step-by-step explanation:

If you roll two cubes, they have 6 sides meaning 6 is the highest number. That's 2 more then 4 so I will subtract to two from each which makes it certain I will roll two dice less then 4. Removing two from each is 4 ergo the answer is 1:4

The ratio of the one leg of
Llana [10]

The legs of the triangle are 6.91 feet, 7.9 feet, and 10.5 feet.

<h3>What is a Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

The ratio of the one leg of the right triangle to the other leg of the right triangle must be 8:7.

Let x be one leg and y be another leg. Then we have

x/y = 8/7

   y = 7x/8

Then the greatest length of one leg of the right triangle given the other leg of the right triangle is 10.5 feet will be

 10.5² = x² + (7x/8)²

110.25 = x² + 49x²/64

110.25 = 113x²/64

      x² = 62.44

        x = 7.902

        x ≅ 7.9 feet

Then the other leg will be

y = 7.9 x 7 / 8

y = 6.91
