Answer:

Not larger or smaller; the areas are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle of base b and height h is

A = (1/2)(b)(h).

In the first case, h = 3 ft and b = 2.5 ft.  This results in an area of 3.75 ft^2.

In the second case, h = 2.5 ft and b = 3 ft.  The area is the same:  3.75 ft^2.

This is because A = (1/2)(b)(h) has the same value regardless of the order in which b and h  are used as multipliers.

There is no difference in the areas of the two signs.  The areas are the same.

Answer:

a) $160

b) $116.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let the original price of the yellow bicycle be $x.

Since both has the same original price,

original price of yellow bicycle= 100% x

original price of green bicycle= 100% x

Discounted price of yellow bicycle

= (100% -25%) x

= 75% x

Discounted price of green bicycle

= (100% -30%) x

= 70% x

Difference in cost

= 75%x -70%x

= 5% x -----(1)

From 2nd paragraph:

Discounted price of yellow bicycle

= Kyreen's money +3.50

Discounted price of green bicycle

= Kyreen's money -4.50

Difference in cost

= (Kyreen's money +3.50) -(Kyreen's money -4.50)

= Kyreen's money +3.50 -Kyreen's money +4.50

= 3.50 +4.50

= 8.00 -----(2)

Equating (1) and (2) together:

5% x= 8.00

\frac{5}{100} x = 8

x = 8 \div  \frac{5}{100}

x = 8 \times  \frac{100}{5}

x= 8 ×20

x= 160

Thus, the original price of the yellow bicycle is $160.

_______

b) Amount Kyreen has at first

= discounted price of yellow bicycle -$3.50

= 75%($160) -$3.50

= $120 -$3.50

= $116.50

The next smaller thousand is  191,000 .

191,306  is closer to  191,000  than it is to  192,000 .

So the nearest thousand is  191,000 .

Which statement is true?
defon

Answer:

b. Multiplying decimals less than one is finding a part of a part.

Step-by-step explanation:

A part of a given number implies a selected part of a given number which can be expressed as a fraction of the number. Example, the half of any number is \frac{1}{2}.

The product of a part and another part can be expressed as;

\frac{1}{3} x \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{9}

or,

\frac{1}{2} x \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}

or,

\frac{1}{2} x \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

The three examples shows: a part x a part.

Therefore, it would be observed that multiplying decimals less than one is the same as finding a part of a part.
