Answer:
2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute x = -2 into y = (2/3)^x
=> y = (2/3)^-2
=> y = 9/4 = 2.25
Answer:
18 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Rn = 6 Ratio numerator
Rd = 2 Ratio Denominator
Rs = Rn + Rd
Rs = 6 + 2
Rs = 8
Ratio Sum
a = 24 Amount to Divide
M = a ÷ Rs
M = 24 ÷ 8
M = 3 Multiplier Ratio Division Calculation
Rr = Rn × M : Rd × M
Rr = 6 × 3 : 2 × 3
Rr = 18 : 6
Answer:
80 parrots were purchased.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of parrots be k.
If 20% (or 20/100 = 1/5) flew away and 5% (5/100 = 1/20) died, the remaining parrots will be k – (¹/₅k + ¹/₂₀k) = k – ¼k = ¾k.
Of the remaining, 45% (or 45/100 = 9/20) were sold, which means the total number of sold parrots will be ¾k × ⁹/₂₀ = ²⁷/₈₀k.
The remaining parrots = ¾k – ²⁷/₈₀k = ³³/₈₀k = 33
k = 33 × ⁸⁰/₃₃ = 80 parrots were purchased.

Answer:
35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number
Step-by-step explanation:
First, change 58 1/3 into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number and denominator, then adding the numerator. 58 x 3 equals 174, + 1 equals 175. So, 58 1/3 as an improper fraction is 175/3. Next, change 6 2/3 into an improper fraction. 6 times 3 equals 18, plus 2 equals 20. So, it's 20/3. So, here are your two fractions:
175/3 & 20/3
To divide fractions, I like to use a method called Keep Change Flip. Basically, you keep the first fractions the same, then change the sign. The division sign changes into a multiplication symbol. Now, your equation should look like this: 175/3 x 20/3. Next, flip the fraction from 20/3 into 3/20. This is what your equation should look like now: 175/3 x 3/20. Now you can multiply the fractions together. Before you do so, you can cross reduce to make it easier. What is a number that both 3 and 3 can be divided by? The correct answer is 3. 3/3= 1, so the equation is now 175/1 x 1/20. However, you can continue to cross reduce. You can also divide 175 and 20 by 5, so the equation changes into this: 35/1 x 1/20. Multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. So, the answer is 35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number. Hope this helped!
