Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
8 x
16 100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%
If a number is positive, Leila's theory that 75% of a number will always be greater than 50% of another number is <em>true</em>;<em> </em>however, if both numbers are negative, or if the number of which she finds 50% is much greater than the number of which she finds 75%, Leila's theory could be incorrect.
This inequality shows that Leila is correct:
(which simplifies to
)
This inequality shows that Leila is incorrect:
(which simplifies to
)
Hope this helps!
equation has infinitely many solutions has the same number on both sides of the equal sign
-3x -21 + x + 5 = -20x -16
-2x -16 = -20x -16
so either you have -18x on the left or +18x in the right
3 1/2 pound = 7/2 pounds.
We know that the dog eats 7/2 (3.5) pounds every 21 days since there are 7 days in a week and Mr.Z only buys dog food every 3 weeks.
Set up a proportion. <u>3.5 lb</u> = <u> x </u><u>
</u> 21 days 365 days
<u>
</u>Cross multiply and divide. 3.5 lb x 365 days = 1277.5 / 21 days = 60.83 lb
<u>

Answer:
c.
That's because numbers like 2,31, 50 and so on are integers while 2.4, √66 ND so on are not
