Answer:

Volume is the amount of space taken up by an object, while capacity is the measure of an object's ability to hold a substance, like a solid, a liquid or a gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is measured in cubic units, while capacity can be measured in almost every other unit, including liters, gallons, pounds, etc.

The monthly rent of Marilyn's house went from $500 to $400, if p is the percent decrease in the rent, which proportion can be us

faust18 [17]

For this case we can use the following rule of three:
$ 500 ---------> 100%
$ 400 ---------> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (400/500) * (100) = 80%
Therefore, the percentage of decrease in the rent is:
p = 100-x
p = 100-80
p = 80%
Answer:
a proportion can be used to calculate p is:
p = 100 - ((400/500) * (100))

can someone please solve this? I clicked on homework help and it wasn't much help. I'm trying to turn in as much missing assignm

Answer:

One proportion to solve is 8/18 = x/8
Exact answer as a fraction: x = 32/9
Approximate answer in decimal form: x = 3.556

In reality, the 5's go on forever, but we have to round off somewhere.

========================================================

Explanation:

Break up the triangles as your teacher recommends. See the diagram below as to what I mean.

The smaller triangle has A = 8 as the horizontal side, and B = x as the vertical side

The larger triangle has C = 10+8 = 18 as the horizontal aside, and D = 8 as the vertical side.

We can form the proportion A/C = B/D.

A/C connects the horizontal sides (small/large) while B/D has the vertical sides tied together. The order of division is the same small over large. You could do large over small, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.

-----------------

Let's solve for x

A/C = B/D

8/18 = x/8

8*8 = 18*x .... cross multiply

64 = 18x

18x = 64

x = 64/18 .... divide both sides by 18

x = 32/9 exactly in fraction form

x = 3.556 approximately in decimal form

-------------------

Another proportion you can solve is A/B = C/D and you should get the same x value. It's the same as A/C = B/D because the B and C swap places. There are many other approaches you could take using different proportions.
