Well to solve this, lets plug in some numbers. Lets assume that for now, the starting number is 2. If it increases by 100%, bringing it up to 4, then decreases 100%, it is brought down to zero. Now one thing to note is that any number decrease by 100% is automatically zero. Watch, we start with two, it is then increased by 150%, bringing it up to 5, then decreased by 100%, bringing it back down to zero. In conclusion, 100% cannot be specified as a value, but rather a relation. 100% represents the entire number, meaning that if you are decreasing a number by 100%, you are basically subtracting the number by itself!

How do I do this Q11
SashulF [63]
Look at one of the vertices of the heptagon where two squares meet. The angles within the squares are both of measure 90 degrees, so together they make up 180 degrees.

All the angles at one vertex must clearly add up to 360 degrees. If the angles from the squares contribute a total of 180 degrees, then the two remaining angles (the interior angle of the heptagon and the marked angle) must also be supplementary and add to 180 degrees. This means we can treat the marked angles as exterior angles to the corresponding interior angle.

Finally, we know that for any convex polygon, the exterior angles (the angles that supplement the interior angles of the polygon) all add to 360 degrees (recall the exterior angle sum theorem). This means all the marked angles sum to 360 degrees as well, so the answer is B.

Is there a easy way to subtract fractions with unlike deiomaters
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

It's just like adding fractions where you have to find the common denominator so the fractions can be subtracted.

<u>Example</u>

<u />\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1*3}{2*3}-\frac{2*1}{2*3}=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}

5 1/2+ 3 2/3+ 1 4/5
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

10\frac{29}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

5\frac{1}{2} +3\frac{2}{3} +1\frac{4}{5}

Let us group the integers and the fractions.

5\frac{1}{2} +3\frac{2}{3} +1\frac{4}{5} = (5+3+1)+(\frac{1}{2} +\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5}  )

= 9+\frac{15+20+24}{30}

= 9+\frac{59}{30}

=9+1\frac{29}{30}

=10\frac{29}{30}
