Answer:

14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this information, we can form an equation.

Since there are 3 sides in a triangle, and each side increased by 6, that means that the perimeter increased by 18 inches. Down below, I did 3x because there are 3 sides in a triangle.

(This is the equation you'd want to do to get the answer)

3x + 3 * 6 = 60

Simplify:

3x + 18 = 60

Same to both sides

3x = 42

Isolate x:

x = 14

Answer:

1.) The product of 12 and 3/4 is less than 12. This is because you are multiplying 12 by a number less than 1.

2.) The product of 5 and 1/2  is less than 5, this is because you are multiplying 5 by a number less than one.

Step-by-step explanation:

If multiplied by a number less than one then it will be smaller than original

If multiplied by one will be the same as original

If multiplied by a number greater than one it will be greater than original

Answer:

30,114.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the percent increase formula:

((new value - initial value) / initial value) x 100

Plug in the values:

((211,500 - 700) / 700) x 100

(210,800 / 700) x 100

= 30,114.29

So, the percent increase is 30,114.3%
