One half of a number decreased by 16

Hey there!

"One half of a number" will be a number (x) divided by 2. This can also be shown as "0.5x" or "1/2x", whichever you prefer.

"...decreased by 16" will be "– 16", making your full equation 0.5x – 16. Remember that terms like remainder, difference, and fewer will always mean subtraction.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

1/2x-16 is an equation that can be used to represent this. The 1/2x represents the one half of a number and the -16 represents the decreased by 16.

velikii [3]

<span>First, we need to know that the current recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E is 15 milligrams. If Leena ate four tablespoons of peanut butter, thus receiving only 6 milligrams, then we can determine the percentage by first dividing 100 into 15 parts (which gives us 6.66), and then multiply that answer by 6 (6 x 6.66), which gives us precisely 40. Thus, the answer is 40 percent.</span>

If an event has a 55% chance of happening in one trial, how do I determine the chances of it happening more than once in 4 trial

aev [14]

The chances of it happening more than once in 4 trials is 13%

<h3>How to determine the number</h3>

From the information given, we have can deduce that;

Probability of 1 trial = 55%

= 55/ 100

Find the ratio

= 0. 55

We are to find the probability of it happening more than once in 4 different trials

If the probability of it happening in one trial is 555 which equals 0. 55

Then the probability of it happening in 1 in 4 trials is given as;

P(1/4 trials) = 1/ 4 × 55%

P(1/4 trials) = 1/ 4 × 0. 55

Put in decimal form

P(1/4 trials) = 0. 25 × 0. 55

P(1/4 trials) = 0. 138

But we have to know the percentage

= 0. 138 × 100

Multiply the values, we have

= 13. 8 %

Thus, the chances of it happening more than once in 4 trials is 13%

What is the area of this figure?

nalin [4]

Answer:

<em>290.5 square miles</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider splitting this figure into two mini rectangles and a triangle, each of given lengths;

$Dimensions of Rectangle 1 - Height ; 5 mi, Length ; 7 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 1 - Height * Length = 5 mi * 7 mi = 35 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Rectangle 2 - Height ; 18 mi, Length ; 8 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 2 - Height * Length = 23 mi * 8 mi = 184 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Mini Right Triangle - Height ; 11 mi, Base ; 8 + 5 = 13 mi,\\Area of Mini Right Triangle - 1 / 2 * Base * Height = 1 / 2 * 13 mi * 11 mi = 71.5 mi^2,\\\\Area of Figure = 35 mi^2 + 184 mi^2 + 71.5 mi^2 = 290.5 square miles$

<em>Solution; 290.5 square miles</em>

Geometry thing help<br>aa

irina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the two lines are parallel because of alternate interior angles (5x-20)=3x

then solve for x

5x-20=3x

-20=-2x

Sarah invested £12000 in a unit trust 5 years ago, the value of the unit trust increased by 7% per annum for each of the last 3

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The current price of the unit trust = £13,831.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it increased 7% per annum in last three years and decreased by 3% per annum before that, it implies that the unit trust decreased by 3% per annum for the first 2 years and then increased by 7% per annum for the next 3 years in the total 5 year period

The invested after 2 years = 12,000*(1-0.03)^2 = £11,290.8

This amount then grows by 7% for the next 3 years making it = 11,290.80*(1+0.07)^3 = £13,831.7155 = £13,831.72 (Rounded to 2 decimals)

The current price of the unit trust = £13,831.72 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
