Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

60/400 = 15/100 (I divided the numerator and denominator by 4 get the denominator 100, so we can find the percentage easily).

15/100 = 15%

HELP .-. A painter bought 16 gallons of paint, just to cover two rooms. One room is twice the size of the other room and require

givi [52]

The total number of gallons of paint needed for the big room is 3x and the number of gallons of paint needed for the small room is 2y.
3x + 2y = 16
Given the sizes of the room, the relation should be that,
x = 2y
Solving the equation,
3(2y) + 2y = 16
y = 2
Therefore x is equal to 4 gallons.
With the condition that only the bigger room is painted, the number of gallons of paint used should be 12 gallons and what is left should be 4 gallons.

1.Show that the statement p: “If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0, then x is 0” is true by

Genrish500 [490]

If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 then x is 0”.Let q: x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 r: x is 0.i To show that statement p is true we assume that q is true and then show that r is true.Therefore let statement q be true.∴ x2 + 4x = 0 x x2 + 4 = 0⇒ x = 0 or x2+ 4 = 0However since x is real it is 0.Thus statement r is true.Therefore the given statement is true.ii To show statement p to be true by contradiction we assume that p is not true.Let x be a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 and let x is not 0.Therefore x3 + 4x = 0 x x2+ 4 = 0 x = 0 or x2 + 4 = 0 x = 0 orx2 = – 4However x is real. Therefore x = 0 which is a contradiction since we have assumed that x is not 0.Thus the given statement p is true.iii To prove statement p to be true by contrapositive method we assume that r is false and prove that q must be false.Here r is false implies that it is required to consider the negation of statement r.This obtains the following statement.∼r: x is not 0.It can be seen that x2 + 4 will always be positive.x ≠ 0 implies that the product of any positive real number with x is not zero.Let us consider the product of x with x2 + 4.∴ x x2 + 4 ≠ 0⇒ x3 + 4x ≠ 0This shows that statement q is not true.Thus it has been proved that∼r ⇒∼qTherefore the given statement p is true.

The diagram shows a straight line ABCD.

Nady [450]

Answer:

B (0, 285 ) , C (380, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step is to obtain the equation of the line in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$
