Mathematics
1 answer:
alexgriva [62]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Approx. 59% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Today - 221

Yesterday - 139

difference (today - yesterday) = 82

How to find percent:

((part)/(whole)) = ((x)/(100))

In this case, the part is the difference, and the whole is the value of an item yesterday, so the equation is:

82/139 = x/100

cross multiply

8200 = 139x

Inverse operations

8200 = 139x

/139       /139

8200/139 = x

approx. 59 = x

A triangle has a height that is 4 /3 the length of its base. If the length of its base is 24 cm, what is its area?
ASHA 777 [7]
Triangle Area = ½ * height * base

base = 24 therefore
height = (4/3) * base = (4/3) * base = 32 cm

Triangle Area = ½ * 32 * 24
= 384 cubic centimeters

Will give brainlist Very unlikely answer choices: A. 1 B. 0.01 C. 0.9 D. 0 E. 0.6 F. 0.5 G. 0.35
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

B) 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

If they want to know which one is very unlikely, you could turn them into percents.

1=100%

0.01=1%

0.9=90%

0=0%

0.6=60%

0.5=50%

0.35=35%

Since 0% is "impossible", not just "very unlikely", I'd go with 1%, which is B) 0.01

This is assuming I'm understanding your question correctly, since it doesn't actually ask a question.
