Answer:

1. 0.04b. 0.04b is 2% of 2b. It is smaller than 2b by 98%.

2. 0.2b. 0.2b is 10% of 2b. It is smaller than 2b by 90%.

3. 0.56b. 0.56b is 28% of 2b. It is smaller than 2b by 72%.

4. 1.8b. 1.8b is 90% of 2b. It is smaller than 2b by 10%.

5. 2.5b. 2.5b is 125% of 2b. It is larger than 2b by 25%.

6. 3b. 3b is 150% of 2b. It is larger than 2b by 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 0.04b

For all the cases, we will use Rule of Three, this way.

Percentage * 2 = 100 * 0.04

Percentage = (100 * 0.04)/2 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)

Percentage = 4/2 = 2%

0.04b is 2% of 2b. It is 98% smaller than 2b.

For all cases, we will use (100 - x) for calculating how smaller or larger the expression is related to 2b, where x is the percentage of the expression itself). In this case, 100 - 2 = 98.

2. 0.2b

Again, we will use Rule of Three, this way:

Percentage * 2 = 100 * 0.2

Percentage = (100 * 0.2)/2 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)

Percentage = 20/2 = 10%

0.2b is 10% of 2b. It is 90% smaller than 2b.

3. 0.56b

Again, we will use Rule of Three, this way:

Percentage * 2 = 100 * 0.56

Percentage = (100 * 0.56)/2 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)

Percentage = 56/2 = 28%

0.56b is 28% of 2b. It is 72% smaller than 2b.

4. 1.8b

Again, we will use Rule of Three, this way:

Percentage * 2 = 100 * 1.8

Percentage = (100 * 1.8)/2 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)

Percentage = 180/2 = 90%

1.8b is 90% of 2b. It is 10% smaller than 2b.

5. 2.5b

Again, we will use Rule of Three, this way:

Percentage * 2 = 100 * 2.5

Percentage = (100 * 2.5)/2 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)

Percentage = 250/2 = 125%

2.5b is 125% of 2b. It is 25% larger than 2b.

In this case, 100 - 125 = -25. It means the second expression is larger than 2b by 25%.

6. 3b.

Again, we will use Rule of Three, this way:

Percentage * 2 = 100 * 3

Percentage = (100 * 3)/2 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)

Percentage = 300/2 = 150%

3b is 150% of 2b. It is 50% larger than 2b.

In this case, 100 - 150 = -505. It means the second expression is larger than 2b by 50%.

Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the

Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees was $x+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x$ , and for the next three years we have that

Start End

Second year $\frac{5}{4}x$ -------------- $\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$

Third year $(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$ ------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$

Fourth year $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$ -------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.$

So the formula to calculate the number of trees in the fourth year is

$(\frac{5}{4} )^{4} x,$ we know that all of the trees thrived and there were 6250 at the end of 4 year period, then

$6250=(\frac{5}{4} )^{4}x$ ⇒ $x=\frac{6250*4^{4} }{5^{4} }= \frac{10*5^{4}*4^{4} }{5^{4} }=2560.$

Therefore the number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

The circle with center O has a minor arc BSA with a length of

tangare [24]

Answer:

D. $\frac{27\pi}{2}$ inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the circle with center O has a minor arc BSA with a length of $3\pi^{2}$ inches. The central angle is 40°.

To find the circumference of circle we will use formula:

$\frac{\text{Central angle}}{2\pi}=\frac{\text{Arc length}}{2\pi r}$ , where $2\pi$ = measure of 360 degrees in radians and $2\pi r$ = circumference of circle.
