Answer:
Are you supposed to change decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals?
If yes,
0.5 = 1/2
11/4 = 2.75
0.25 = 1/4
3/8 = 0.375
Answer:
-3,694
I am not sure what in the world the rest means, so I am very sorry. I just subtracted some stuff. I have no clue if that helped...
Answer: the Russell family used their sprinkler for 40 hours.
the Gonzalez family used their sprinkler for 20 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours for which the Russell family used their sprinkler.
Let y represent the number of hours for which the Gonzalez family used their sprinkler.
The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 60 hours. It means that
x + y = 60
The water output rate for the Russell family's sprinkler was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Gonzalez family's sprinkler was 40L per hour. The total water output of both families was 2200L. It means that
35x + 40y = 2200- - - - - - - - - - --1
Substituting x = 60 - y into equation 1, it becomes.
35(60 - y) + 40y = 2200
2100 - 35y + 40y = 2200
- 35y + 40y = 2200 - 2100
5y = 100
y = 100/5
y = 20
x = 60 - y = 60 - 20
x = 40
Answer:
58%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the exponential relation :
Y=52(0.42)^x
Since 0.42 is less than 1, then we can infer that the expression is a Decay function ;
. General form of a exponential function :
y = A(1 - r)^x ; r = Decay rate
Comparing the general equation with the equation given ;
The percentage rate of decrease is obtained thus :
1 - r = 0.42
1 - 0.42 = r
r = 0.58
Rate = 0.58 * 100%
Rate = 58%
