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%

Simplify the expression. State any excluded values.<br><br> x^ 2 - 36/42x - 7x^ 2
REY [17]

Consider the expression x^2-\dfrac{36}{42}x-7x^2.

This expression contains two terms with x^2, group them:

x^2-7x^2=x^2(1-7)=-6x^2.

Now simplify term \dfrac{36}{42}x=\dfrac{6}{7}x.

Now x^2-\dfrac{36}{42}x-7x^2=-6x^2-\dfrac{6}{7}x=6\left(-x^2-\dfrac{1}{7}x\right)=-6x\left(x-\dfrac{1}{7}\right).

This expression is defined for all x.

A rectangular carpet measures 12m by 5m. Part of the carpet is covered by a square rug of length 2m. What fraction of the carpet
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

¹/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rug = s²

Where s = 2 m

Area of the rug = 2² = 4 m²

Area of the rectangular carpet = length × width

Where,

Length = 12 m

Width = 5 m

Area = 12 × 5 = 60 m²

Fraction of the carpet covered by the rug = area of the rug ÷ area of the carpet = 4/60 = ¹/15
