The decrease is (95-68) = 27 .
As a fraction, the decrease is 27/95 of the original amount.
To change any fraction to a decimal, do the division:
(27) divided by (95) = 0.2842...
To change any decimal to a percentage, move the
decimal point two places that ==> way:
0.2842... = 28.42... %Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6(4x + 2) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
6(2 + 4x) = 3(8x + 4)
(2 * 6 + 4x * 6) = 3(8x + 4)
(12 + 24x) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
12 + 24x = 3(4 + 8x)
12 + 24x = (4 * 3 + 8x * 3)
12 + 24x = (12 + 24x)
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
24x = 0 + 24x
24x = 24x
Add '-24x' to each side of the equation.
24x + -24x = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
Answer:
There are 7,725 square feet of grass on the trapezoidal field
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the square feet of grass present on the trapezoidal field.
What this question is actually asking us is to calculate the area of the trapezoid-shaped grass field.
To calculate this area, what we need to do
simply is to use the formula for the area of a trapezoid.
Mathematically, the area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula;
Area of trapezoid = 1/2 * (a + b) * h
where a and b refers to the length of the parallel lengths of the trapezoid and h refers to the height of the trapezoid.
From the question;
a, b = 81ft and 125 ft
h = 75 ft
Substituting these values, we have :
Area = 1/2 * (81 + 125) * 75
Area = 1/2 * 206 * 75 = 83 * 75 = 7,725 ft^2
