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%

Mhanifa can you please help with this??? Look at the picture attached. Thanks!
EastWind [94]

Answer:

<u>Properties of a rhombus used to solve the following </u>

  • <em>Opposite angles are congruent</em>
  • <em>Diagonals are angle bisectors</em>
  • <em>Diagonals are perpendicular to each other</em>
  • <em>Adjacent angles are supplementary</em>

(30)

  • ∠2 = ∠3 = ∠5 = 27°
  • ∠1 = ∠4 = 180° - (2*27°) = 126°

(31)

  • ∠4 = 70°
  • ∠1 = ∠2 = ∠3 = ∠5 = 1/2(180° - 70°) = 1/2(110°) = 55°

(32)

  • ∠1 = ∠2 = ∠5 = 90° - 26° = 64°
  • ∠3 = 26°
  • ∠4 = 90°

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (48, 10) and (-36, 17)?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

y = m x + b      equation of a straight line

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)     slope of line

m = (17 - 10) / (-36 - 48) = 7 / -84 = -1 / 12

y = -x / 12 + b     equation of line

Or b = y + x / 12

If y =  10 and x = 48 then    b = 10 + 48 / 4 = 14

if  y = 17 and x = -36 then b = 17 - 36 / 12 = 14

So b = 14 and   y = -x / 12 + 14
