Answer:

The decrease is 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets say the Original area is Pi X (Radius^2)

Lets call Radius as R

For the new radius, it would be: R + 0.1R which is 1.1R

The new area is: Pi X 1.1R^2, which going further is 1.21 after squaring 1.1.

The Original area is: Pi X Radius^2

To find the percent decrease, subtract the new area by the original, cross out Pi X Radius squared and you are only left with 21%

I am in middle school so I don't know if it is going to be incorrect, but I ask you to give it a try and tell me if it was right or not. I have barely done this topic but recently I had a bonus homework question on a question almost exactly like this and this is the way I did it and I was correct. Thanks! Hope it helped! :)

The smaller number is 3. The larger number is 21. 

You can get this using the following system of equations and solving by any method. 

x - (1/7)y = 0
-x + y = 18

Graph the function y = 4 . Then use the graph to find the missing x- or y-coordinates for the function to the nearest hundredth.
ehidna [41]
To graph y = 4, we make a horizontal line at 4 on the y axis. See image 1


Since it is a horizontal line on the y axis, no matter the input you have for x, the y value is going to be 4. So the points <span> (4, ) (5, )  = </span><span> (4, 4) (5,4 ) 

For your point ( , 2.59), this is saying y = 2.59 The missing value would be 0. our points are below assuming the information given is complete:
</span>(4, ) (5, ) ( ,2.59)  =  (4, 4) (5,4 ) (0,2.59)

Tyra has 12 2/3 cups of sugar. If r is the amount of sugar called for in one batch of cookies, the expression 12 2/3 ÷ r can be
faust18 [17]

Answer:

13 batches of cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

12 2/3 ÷ 2/3 = 12.6666667, it's 13 because 2/3 as a decimal is .6666666 and .6666667 is more than 2/3. So you add one to the answer.
