We call the ratio between two directly proportional quantities the constant of proportionality. When two quantities are directly proportional, they increase and decrease at the same rate. While these two quantities may increase or decrease, the constant of proportionality always remains the same.
Here's an explanation! :)
The LCD of 24 and 23 is 552, so 276/552 - 240/552 = 36. After simplifying 36/552, you get 3/46 and that is your answer.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
That would be 6 4/9 plus 5/9. Note that 4/9 + 5/9 = 9/9 = 1.
Therefore, 6 4/9 plus 5/9 = 6 4/9 + 5/9 = 6 9/9 = 7
Because the number increase by a percentage this is an exponential growth problem.
The equation for exponential growth is :
Total = start value x ( 1 + percent) ^ time
Using the information from the problem:
2011-2005 = 6 years.
Total = 23 x (1 + 0.72)^6
Total = 23x 1.72^6
Total = 595.52 = 596 total people
