Let N be the numerator, D be the denominator 
\frac{N}{D}

if its numerator is decreased by 50%
N - \frac{50}{100}N ==> (this will be the numerator part)

if its denominator is decreased by 25%
D - \frac{25}{100}D ==> (this will be the denominator part)

I try to separate them out, so it's easier to see the problem.

N - \frac{50}{100}N = \frac{100N}{100} - \frac{50N}{100} = \frac{50N}{100}

D - \frac{25}{100}D = \frac{100D}{100} - \frac{25D}{100} = \frac{75D}{100}

\frac{\frac{50N}{100}}{\frac{75D}{100}} = \frac{50N}{100} * \frac{100}{75D}

\frac{50N}{75D} =  \frac{2}{3}(\frac{N}{D}) by this, you can understand that 
\frac{2}{3}(\frac{N}{D}) as 66.6% of N/D because 2/3 is 0.666666.... The answer should be 66.7% if you round them up.

how much water must be added to a 9-liter solution that contains 3% extract on baneberry to get a solution that contains 2% extr
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Amount water added = 4.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of solution = 9 L

Amount of bane-berry = 3% of 9 L = 0.27 L

Computation:

Assume;

Amount water added = x L

Total solution = 9+x L

New percentage of bane-berry = 0.27x100/(9+x)

2 = 0.27*100/(9+x)

x = 4.5 L

Amount water added = 4.5 L

How many solutions can be found for the equation 4z + 2(z - 4) = 3z + 11
Gnom [1K]
4z+2(z-4)=3z+11  perform indicated multiplication on left side

4z+2z-8=3z+11  combine like terms on left side

6z/-8=3z+11  add 8 to both sides

6z=3z+19  subtract 3z from both sides

3z=19  divide both sides by 3

z=19/3 

z=6 1/3

So there is only one solution when z=6 1/3

<h3>What is the Median of a Data in a Box Plot?</h3>

In a box plot, the median is indicated as the value marked by the vertical line that divides the rectangular box of the box plot.

The median is the middle of the data and represents the 50th percentile. That is 1/2 the data.

In the box plot given, 200 pages is the median. Therefore, the fraction of the books that have 200 or fewer pages is: 1/2.
