Answer:
33 1/3 percent smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.
a = b + b*.5
a = b(1.5)
Divide by 1.5
a/1.5 = b
2/3a =b
We want to find (a-b)/a to find the percent decrease
(a-2/3a)/a *100percent
(1/3a)/a* 100 percent
1/3 * 100 percent
33 1/3 percent smaller
15/10 = 18-x/x is the ratio of the larger to the smaller triangle
Cross multiply:
15x = 10(18 - x)
15x = 180 - 10x
25x = 180
x = 7.2
Plug back in to check
15/10 = 1.5
18-7.2/7.2 = 10.8/7.2 = 1.5 :)
Answer:
-32
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0. Since distance is always positive the absolute value is the same number but positive. So the absolute value of -32 and 32 would both be 32 because they have the same distance from 0.
