Answer: 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The Percentage decrease will be:

= Decrease in weight / Old weight × 100

= (200 - 170) / 200 × 100

= 30/200 × 100

= 15%

The Percentage decrease is 15%

The relative growth rate for a certain type of bacteria population is 85% per hour. A small culture has formed and in just 2 hou

harkovskaia [24]

Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100 = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100 = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42 = 3654.97 = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.

Simplify the complex fraction.

lilavasa [31]

Given:

$$\frac{\left(\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}\right)}$

To find:

The simplified fraction.

Solution:

Step 1: Simplify the numerator

$$\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}=\frac{4^3 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}=\frac{64 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}$

Step 2: Simplify the denominator

$$\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}=\frac{16 r}{3^2 t^{2}}= \frac{16 r}{9 t^{2}}$

Step 3: Using step 1 and step 2

$$\frac{\left(\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}\right)}=\frac{\left(\frac{64 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{9 t^{2}} \right)}$

Step 4: Using fraction rule:

$$\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}$

$$\frac{\left(\frac{64 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{9 t^{2}}\right)}=\frac{64r^3 \cdot 9t^2}{16 r \cdot 15 t^4}$

Cancel the common factor r and t², we get

$$=\frac{64 r^{2} \cdot 9 }{16 \cdot 15 t^2 }$

Cancel the common factors 16 and 3 on both numerator and denominator.

$$=\frac{4 r^{2} \cdot 3 }{ 5 t^2 }$

$$=\frac{12 r^{2} }{ 5 t^2 }$

$$\frac{\left(\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}\right)}=\frac{12 r^{2} }{ 5 t^2 }$

The simplified fraction is $\frac{12 r^{2} }{ 5 t^2 }$ .

If x+y=10 and x-y =6 what is the answer of x cube - y cube fast

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

x+y=10 which means that x=10-y

Replace 10-y in the other equation which gives you:

10-y-y=6

10-2y=6

-2y=-4

y=2

Replace 2 in any of the 2 equations same answer for both:

x+y=10

x+2=10

x=8

So,

${x}^{3} - y^{3}$

$= {8}^{3} - {2}^{3}$

=512-8

=504

Hope this helps!
