Luis has four times as much dime than quaters. total is $6.75

By what percent will a fraction decrease if its numerator is increased by 20% and its denominator is increased by 50%?

Brums [2.3K]

Lets find out...

our fraction is 1/2.....
when the numerator is increased by 20%......1 + 0.20(1) = 1.2
when the denominator is increased by 50%....2 + 0.50(2) = 3

1/2 = 0.5....original fraction
1.2 / 3 = 0.4.....increased fraction

decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
= (0.5 - 0.4) / 0.5...* 100
= (0.1 / 0.5)....* 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20% decrease <====

Which score indicates the highest relative position? I. A score of 2.6 on a test with X = 5.0 and s = 1.6 II. A score of 650 on

Zanzabum

Answer:

A score of 2.6 on a test with $\bar X$ = 5.0 and s = 1.6 and A score of 48 on a test with $\bar X$ = 57 and s = 6 indicate the highest relative position.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

I. A score of 2.6 on a test with $\bar X$ = 5.0 and s = 1.6

II. A score of 650 on a test with $\bar X$ = 800 and s = 200

III. A score of 48 on a test with $\bar X$ = 57 and s = 6

And we have to find that which score indicates the highest relative position.

For finding in which score indicates the highest relative position, we will find the z score for each of the score on a test because the higher the z score, it indicates the highest relative position.

The z-score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\bar X}{s}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = mean score

s = standard deviation

X = each score on a test

The z-score of First condition is calculated as;

Since we are given that a score of 2.6 on a test with $\bar X$ = 5.0 and s = 1.6,

So, z-score = $\frac{2.6-5}{1.6}$ = -1.5 {where $\bar X = 5.0$ and s = 1.6 }

The z-score of Second condition is calculated as;

Since we are given that a score of 650 on a test with $\bar X$ = 800 and s = 200,

So, z-score = $\frac{650-800}{200}$ = -0.75 {where $\bar X = 800$ and s = 200 }

The z-score of Third condition is calculated as;

Since we are given that a score of 48 on a test with $\bar X$ = 57 and s = 6,

So, z-score = $\frac{48-57}{6}$ = -1.5 {where $\bar X = 57$ and s = 6 }

AS we can clearly see that the z score of First and third condition are equally likely higher as compared to Second condition so it can be stated that A score of 2.6 on a test with $\bar X$ = 5.0 and s = 1.6 and A score of 48 on a test with $\bar X$ = 57 and s = 6 indicate the highest relative position.

What is the domain of the function given below

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

c. [-1, infinity)

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain the interval or set of valid x values (while the range is the same for the valid y values).

what is the smallest value of x we see for the graph ?

for x values we need to look left and right.

and the more left the value, the smaller it is.

so, in other words, what is the left-most x value e can find ?

x = -1

that is the "starting point" of the function. there is no functional value for any smaller x.

and then clearly, the function goes on and on to the right without any boundary in sight. so, it keeps going to the right in all eternity, that means it goes to infinity.

therefore the answer.

keep in mind that "infinity" is not a number, only a concept. so, when writing "infinity" at an interval end, it is not included (and we use a round bracket).

Chandresh is helping his father paint the fence in their back yard. The fence is represented by the shaded part of the diagram b

Lyrx [107]

B. The total area painted is 864; they must buy two cans of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

A rectangle's area can be calculated by multiplying its length and its width. The wall is made up of 5 different types of rectangular walls. All walls are 8 feet tall but the length varies.

Step 2:

The area of the 20 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (20)(8) =160,$
