Answer:

The fraction will increase by 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the fraction is x/y. The question is telling us to decrease x by 20% (i.e. 0.8x) and to decrease y by 60% (i.e. 0.4y):

= \frac{0.8x}{0.4y}\\= 2 (\frac {x}{y})

You can see that by applying these changes, the new fraction is actually double the old fraction (i.e. will increase by 100%).

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

x=1x so 1-0.6=0.4x

y=1y so 1-0.2=0.8x

0.4x/0.8y

Simplify:

1x/2y= 0.5xy

0.5xy*100=50%

So it decreased by 50%

Is 225/15/3 equal to 225/(15/3)?
Andrej [43]
No, because if they were equal the second equation should be 225/(15x3), not (15/3).

On average, Haley is able to read 4 5/6 Chapters in the her book each week . How many weeks will it take Haley to read 9 2/3 Cha
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

2 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = total number of chapters read = 9\frac{2}{3}

m = number of chapters read per week = 4\frac{5}{6}

x = number of weeks = what we're solving for

b is not needed to find this solution

9\frac{2}{3} = 4\frac{5}{6} x                            divide 4\frac{5}{6} from both sides

x = 2 weeks
