Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call one number x and the other one y

first you have the fraction x/y

When you increase the numerator by 20% you get 1.2

when you increase the denominator by 50% you get 1.5

Then you get the fraction 1.2x/1.5y

since fractions are basically division you divide 1.2 by 1.5 which is 0.8

0.8 as a percent is 80%

you subtract that from 100 and you get 20%

Lets find out...

our fraction is 1/2.....
when the numerator is increased by 20%......1 + 0.20(1) = 1.2
when the denominator is increased by 50%....2 + 0.50(2) = 3

1/2 = 0.5....original fraction
1.2 / 3 = 0.4.....increased fraction

 decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
                 = (0.5 - 0.4) / 0.5...* 100
                 = (0.1 / 0.5)....* 100
                = 0.2 * 100
                = 20% decrease <====

If p is a positive integer,then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by?
ElenaW [278]

I am not quite sure what the choices are, but the answer to that problem is:

If p is a positive integer, then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by “an even number”.

The explanation to this is that whatever number you input to that equation, the answer will always be an even number. This is due to the expression p(p+1)(p-1) which always result in a even product.

For example if p=3, then (p+1)(p-1) becomes (4)(2) giving you a even number.

And if for example if p=2, then (p+1)(p-1) becomes (3)(1) which gives an odd product, but we still have to multiply this with p therefore 2*3 = 6 which is even product. The outcome is always even number.

<span>Answer: From the choices, select the even number</span>
