Answer:

<h2>Between 2009 and 2010 hurricanes increased a 428%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest percentage change refers to which two years presents the biggest difference.

So, to answer the question of the problem, we observe that 2009 is the least year and 2010 (the consecutive year) is the greatest year, this means that they proportion has the biggest difference.

Now, we have to find the percentage for each year, which is calculated dividing the number of hurricanes of the year by the total number of hurricanes of all years together.

From the graph, we observe that the total hurricanes from 2006 to 2011 is

5+6+8+3+12+7=41

Now, the percentage of the year 2009 is

\frac{3}{41}=0.07 (or \ 7\%)

The percentage of the year 2010 is

\frac{12}{41}=0.30 (or \ 30\%)

So, from 2009 to 2010, the percentage of hurricanes increased

\frac{30}{7}=4.28 (or \ 428\%)

This means that between 2009 and 2010 hurricanes increased a 428%, which is nuts.

Firstly, we will find smallest value and largest value

smallest value is in 2009

and smallest value is 3

largest value is in 2010

and largest value is 12

So, percentage change will be greatest between 2009 to 2010

now, we can find percentage change

=\frac{12-3}{3}\times 100

=\frac{9}{3}\times 100

=300 %..............Answer

Half the marbles in a bag are red, 1/6 of the marbles are blue, and the remaining 8 marbles are white how many total marbles are
Gemiola [76]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent the total number of marbles with the variable t. We have the following information.

1/2t+1/6t+8=t (1/2 of total are red, 1/6 of total are blue, 8 are white, add them up to get total)

Now, we solve for t.

1/2t+1/6t+8=t

We combine like terms.

2/3t+8=t

We subtract t from both sides.

-1/3t+8=0

We subtract 8 from both sides.

-1/3t=-8

We divide both sides by -1/3.

t=24

Therefore, there ae 24 total marbles in the bag.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Why do you flip the equation when solving something like 10&gt;-9x+10?
Karolina [17]
You flip the sign from > to < only when you are dividing by a negative number and in this case it would be negative 9.

A huge Ping-Pong tournament is held in Beijing with 65,536 participants at the start of the tournament. Each round of
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

After 16 rounds the champion of Ping-Pong player can be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of geometric progression,

First term = 65,536

\texttt{Common ratio = }\frac{1}{2}

Now we need to find which term is 1 in this GP.

N th term of GP is given by

             t_n=ar^{n-1}

Substituting

               1=65536\times \left ( \frac{1}{2}\right )^{n-1}\\\\\frac{1}{65536}=\left ( \frac{1}{2}\right )^{n-1}\\\\2^{n-1}=65536\\\\2^{n-1}=2^{16}\\\\n=17

Seventeenth term of this GP is 1.

That is after 16 rounds the champion of Ping-Pong player can be determined.
