The plane's airspeed is 140:)
You cut out the question-
x=-18 if its right please give 5 stars so I can rankup
Answer:
24.6 % decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original temperature
Increase by 25%
x + .25x
1.25x
Decrease by 40%
The amount decreased is
(1.25x) *.40
.496x
Subtract that from 1.25x
1.25x - .496x
.754x
We need to find the percent decrease
1 - .754 = .246
24.6 % decrease
Answer: Choice B
Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number is more than negative four and five tenths.
======================================================
Explanation:
2.4 = 2 + 0.4
2.4 = 2 and 4/10
2.4 = 2 and 4 tenths
2.4 = two and four tenths
-------------------
Through similar reasoning,
6.2 = six and two tenths
And also,
-4.5 = negative four and five tenths
---------------------
Notice how 6.2 - x translates into "difference of six and two tenths and a number"
We then multiply that by 2.4, aka two and four tenths.
So that's how we get the phrasing "Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number"
All of this is greater than -4.5 aka negative four and five tenths.
This points us to Choice B as the final answer.
