Lets find out...
our fraction is 1/2.....
when the numerator is increased by 20%......1 + 0.20(1) = 1.2
when the denominator is increased by 50%....2 + 0.50(2) = 3
1/2 = 0.5....original fraction
1.2 / 3 = 0.4.....increased fraction
decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
= (0.5 - 0.4) / 0.5...* 100
= (0.1 / 0.5)....* 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20% decrease <====
Yes. Because rational numbers can be written in a form of fraction and they are integers.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the amount of tons of steel produced monthly by a factory to be 6000 5/12 tons, to determine their daily production, we need to use the conversion;
Maximum of 31 days = 1 month
This means that the steel company produces 6000 5/12 tons of steel in 31 days.
6000 5/12 tons = 31 dsays
72,005/12 tons = 31 days
in a day, the company will therefore produce approx. (72,005/12)/31 tons of steel.
(72,005/12)/31 = 72,005/12 * 1/31
= 72,005/12*31
= 72,005/372
= 193 209/372 tons of steel.
Hence, the factory produces about 
tons of steel daily
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Example
With numbers
18+4=22
18+4−4=22−4
18=18
With variables and numbers
x+4=22
x+4−4=22−4
x=18
We subtract 4 from both sides. Example
Which of the following numbers is a solution to the equation? x = 2, 7, or 8?
14−x=7
Here you are given the numbers 2, 7 and 8. One of these numbers will satisfy the equation. If you don't know the solution right away, you can investigate which of the given numbers gives results in the correct answer by plugging in the different values of x.
Answer: x=7
Example
8x=64
8⋅x=64
Which number should you multiply 8 by to get a product of 64? By using the multiplication table, we know that the number is 8.
8⋅8=64
When we solve an equation, we figure out what value of x (or any other variable) makes the statement true (satisfies the equation).
