Answer: 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Mrs Anderson weighed 160 pounds earlier and two months later, she had dropped to 136 pounds. To. Calculate the percent of decrease in her weight goes thus:

We've to find her decrease in weight first. This will be:

= 160 pounds - 136 pounds

= 24 pounds

Percentage decrease will now be:

= Change in weight/Original weight × 100

= 24/160 × 100

= 0.15 × 100

= 15%

The percent of decrease in her weight is 15%.

What is the equation for the line? enter your answer in the box
Igoryamba
To get the equation of the line, you need two points that belong to this line.
From the given graph, we can choose any two points: (0,-4) and (-2,0)

The general for of the linear straight line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

First, we will calculate the slope using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
slope (m) = (0--4) / (-2-0) = 4/-2 = -2
The equation of the line now is: y = -2x + c

Then, we will get the value of the c. To do so, we will choose any point and substitute in the equation. I will choose the point (0,-4)
y = -2x + c
-4 = -2(0) + c
c = -4

Based on the above calculations, the equation of the line is:
y = -2x - 4

Rewrite 5/ 16 + 6/ 20 with a common denominator.
Troyanec [42]
25/80 + 24/80 = 49/80. 16 and 20 both go into 80. !6 goes in 5 times so you multiply 5 by 5. 20 goes into 80 4 times so you multiply 4 by 4. 24/80 + 25/80 = 49/80.
