Answer:

  -50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the fraction is f = p/q before any changes.

Decreasing the numerator by 60% multiplies it by (1 -0.60) = 0.4.

Decreasing the denominator by 20% multiplies it by (1 -0.20) = 0.8.

Then the new fraction is ...

  f' = p(0.4)/(q(0.8)) = (p/q)(0.4/0.8) = f(0.5) = f(1 -0.50) = f(1 +(-50%))

The increase in the value of the fraction is -50%.

Find the value of the expression 0.5^10/0.5^7
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The solution is:

  • \frac{0.5^{10}}{0.5^7}=0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

0.5^{10}\div 0.5^7

Solving

\frac{0.5^{10}}{0.5^7}

\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}

so

\frac{0.5^{10}}{0.5^7}=0.5^{10-7}

\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:10-7=3

=0.5^3

=0.125        ∵ 0.5^3=0.125

Therefore, the solution is:

\frac{0.5^{10}}{0.5^7}=0.125

Help please! I just need to know how to do this step by step...
Alex787 [66]

-8 - 5n = 64 + 3n

    +5n          +5n           add 5n to both sides, 5n's cancel out on the left.

______________

-8 = 64 + 8n

-64 -64                          subtract 64 on both sides, 64's cancel out on the right.

______________

-72 = 8n

___  ___                       divide 8 on both sides, 8's cancel out from the right.

 8      8
