Answer: 69 runners made it to the finish line.

Step-by-step explanation:

8% decrease implies 8/100 × 75 runners

8% Decrease = 6

Runners that made it will be 75 - 6

= 69 runners

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If there was an an 8% decrease, it means 92℅ of the runners made it to the finish line

Number of runners that made it =(92/100) × 75

=0.92×75 =69

69 runners made it to the finish line

It is given that y varies inversely as x^2. If x is decreased by 50%, find the percentage change in y.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

300%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{x^2}

Required

Find the percentage change in y when x decreased by 50%

First, convert to equation

y\ = \ \frac{k}{x^2}

Where k is the constant of proportionality

When x decreased by 50%

Y = \frac{k}{(x - 0.5x)^2}

Y = \frac{k}{(0.5x)^2}

Y = \frac{k}{0.25x^2}

Expand

Y = \frac{1}{0.25} * \frac{k}{x^2}

Substitute \frac{k}{x^2} for y

Y = \frac{1}{0.25} * y

Y = 4 * y

Y = 4 y

The percentage change is then calculated as:

\%Change = \frac{Y - y}{y} * 100\%

\%Change = \frac{4y - y}{y} * 100\%

\%Change = \frac{3y}{y} * 100\%

\%Change = 3 * 100\%

\%Change = 300\%

<em>The percentage in y is 300%</em>

Answer:

Hopefully this explains o_O, also Merry Christmas!

Step-by-step explanation:

9 x 10^2 = 9 x 100 = 900

3 x 10^-2 = 3 x 1/100 = 0.03

Ratio of 900:0.03

The first one is 30000 bigger than the second
