The temperature decreased by 28%

Step-by-step explanation:

How did the temperature change if :

  • At first it decreased by 60%
  • Then increased by 80%

Assume that the temperature before decreasing is 100%

∵ The temperature before decreasing = 100%

∵ It decreased by 60%

→  Before decreasing  :  decreasing  :    after decreasing

→  100%                         :  60%              :    100% - 60% = 40%

∴ The temperature after decreasing = 40%

Assume that the temperature after decreasing is 100%

∵ The temperature after decreasing = 100%

∵ It increased by 80%

By using the ratio method

→  After decreasing  :  increasing  :    after increasing

→  100%                      :  80%             :   100% + 80% = 180%

→  40%                        :                       :   x%

By using cross multiplication

∴ 100% × x% = 40% × 180%

- Divide both sides by 100%

∴ x% = \frac{(40)(180)}{100}

∴ x% = 72%

∵ At first the temperature = 100%

∵ At last the temperature = 72%

∵ The first the temperature > the last the temperature

∴ The decreasing in temperature = 100% - 72% = 28%

The temperature decreased by 28%

Coach leonardo used 9 1/2 meters of string to mark a soccer field for a game. He also used 2 2/5 meters of string to mark a spot
allsm [11]

Answer:

10 19/10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the amount of string used for the soccer field be x

and the amount used for coach spot be y

Also, let the total string used be represented as T

Step two:

Hence the expression for the total is

T= x+y

T= 9 1/2+ 2 2/5

T= 9.5+ 2.4

T= 11.9

or

T= 119/10 meters

or

T= 10 19/10 meters

Write six-thousandths in standard form
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

6x10^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to write six thousandths in standard form.

First of all, we will write our given number as a decimal. Our given number is six thousands, so we will divide 6 by 1000 as:

6x10^{3}

To write 0.006 as standard form, we need two factors whose product is 0.006. First factor would be any number between 1 to 10 and the second number would be power of 10.

Since we have 3 decimals before 6, so our first factor would be 6 and second factor would be .

Therefore, our required number would be .

The graph of y=cos⁡x is transformed to y=a cos ⁡(x−c)+d by a vertical compression by a factor of 1/3 and a translation 2 units d
rodikova [14]

ANSWER

y =  \frac{1}{3}  \cos(x)  - 2

EXPLANATION

If the graph of y=cos⁡x is transformed to y=a cos ⁡(x−c)+d by a vertical compression by a factor of 1/3 and a translation 2 units down,

then

a=1/3

and d=-2.

The 'c' is a phase shift since it is not given, it means it is zero.

Therefore the new equation is:

y=1/3cos⁡(x-0)−2

This simplifies to:

y=1/3cos⁡x−2

The correct option is C.
