Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

first the numerator is decreased by 75% so its 0.25. the denominator is decreased by 50% so its 0.5. Then, we will divide 0.25 and 0.5 which equals 0.5. to find %, do 0.5*100 which equals 50%

Does cold salty water sink or rise along the ocean floor as deep as a current

rewona [7]

Answer:

In cold regions, such as the North Atlantic Ocean, ocean water loses heat to the atmosphere and becomes cold and dense. When ocean water freezes, forming sea ice, salt is left behind causing surrounding seawater to become saltier and denser. Dense-cold-salty water sinks to the ocean bottom.

g A shopping center includes a grocery store and a drug store. One%E2%80%8B afternoon, a total of 200 people visited the shoppin

QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 179 people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store.

b) 21 people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to treat these events as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Set A: Shopped at the grocery store

Set B: Shoped at the drug store.

121 shopped at the grocery store:

This means that $A = 121$

91 shopped at the drug store:

This means that $B = 91$

33 shopped at both businesses.

This means that $A \cap B = 33$

a) How many people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store?

This is

$A \cup B = A + B - (A \cap B)$

With the values given in the exercise.

$A \cup B = A + B - (A \cap B) = 121 + 91 - 33 = 179$

179 people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store.

b) How many people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store?

179 of 200 shopped in at least one. So 200 - 179 = 21 shopped at neither.

21 people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store

Write the given roots to quadraatic equation

german

Answer:

It's like solving a quadratic, but in reverse, and in this case you'll arrive at x2+x−12=0

Explanation:

We're going to go "backwards" with this problem - normally we're asked to take a quadratic equation and find the roots. So we'll do what we normally do, but in reverse:

Let's start with the roots:

x=3, x=−4

So let's move the constants over with the x terms to have equations equal to 0:

x−3=0, x+4=0

Now we can set up the equation, as:

(x−3)(x+4)=0

We can now distribute out the 2 quantities:

x2+x−12=0
