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%

Answer: S<\-2

Hope i was some help.

Step-by-step explanation: sorry I can’t put the right sign my keybored won’t let me but you know what it stands for.

3s+6s</-5(s+2)

start off with -5(s+2) you multiply -5 with s and it is -5s then you do the same for +2 take -5 and multiply by +2 pos times a neg is always a neg so it’s -10.

3s+6<\-5s-10

So you have to get rid of the -5s so your going to do the inverse which is add 5 to -5 and it will get rid of -5s but then you have to add 5 to 3s and that will be 8s.

8s+6</-10

Now your going to get rid of the +6 and to do that you do the inverse you subtract 6 and it will get rid of it now you have to do the same for -10 so you will subtract 6 to -10 and that will equal -16.

Now you have to divide!

8s/8 </ -16/8

And it should equal s <\-2
