Hey there! I’m happy to help!

Let’s first subtract 4 from 20 to see how much was lost.

20-4=16

Now, we see that 16 is a certain percent of twenty that we want to find. When talking about percents, the word “is” represents an equal sign. So, we can write this equation. We will have p represent our prevent.

16=20p (16 is a certain percent of 20)

Now, we solve by dividing both sides of the equation by 20 to isolate the p.

p=0.8

0.8 is 80% or 4/5, so 4/5 of the dam water has been lost.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

(-5 3/4, 1 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

the line intersects right before the -6, so it’s not -6. yet, it is as close to -6 as you can get which would be -5 3/4. meaning the closes would be the third choice.

Identify the phrase that cannot be described by the same absolute value as the other three. Explain your reasoning.

The answer would probably be 18 degrees below normal because the absolute values of the rest are 8 not 18 which is the absolute value of 18 degrees below normal.

If the probability of an event happening is 0.45.
AlladinOne [14]
A.) 0.55
This is because the probability has to com out to 1 (technically 100%) so, 1-0.45 is 0.55 (these could all be percentages if you multiply them by 100)
