<span>An electrician can wire a house in ------------> 20 hours
so
100%----------------> 20 hours
 X-------------------> 12 hour
x=12*100/20----> x=60%

that means 
</span><span>the apprentice in 12 hours complete the (100-60)----> 40%

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

<em>36%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

"8 kg of mixed nuts containing 26% peanuts"

weight of peanuts: 26% * 8 kg = 0.26 * 8 kg = 2.08 kg

"5 kg ... that contain 52% peanuts"

weight of peanuts: 52% * 5 kg = 0.52 * 5 kg = 2.6 kg

Total weight of peanuts: 2.08 kg + 2.6 kg = 4.68 kg

Total weight of mixed nuts: 8 kg + 5 kg

percent of peanuts: (4.68 kg)/(13 kg) * 100% = 36%

Match each verbal description to its equivalent function rule as applied to the given function below.
stepladder [879]
The top-left graph goes with the bottom-right equation, y=90(1/4)^x

The bottom-left graph goes with the top-right equation, y = 120(3/4)^x

The top-right graph goes with the bottom-left equation, y = 120(1/4)^x

The bottom-right graph goes with the top-left equation, y = 90(3/4)^x

y=90(1/4)^x has a larger percent decrease than y = 90(3/4)^x
cause if you multiply a number by 1/4, that's smaller than multiplying number by 3/4. so y=90(1/4)^x decreases really fast

same with the y = 120(3/4)^x ones
