Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percent decrease (new amount/original amount)*100

(500/625)*100

=80

--

to check

625*.80  

=500

or

625*80%

=500

It should be 20% but I’m not fully sure I hope I’m correct!

A cube has side length a. The side lengths are decreased to 40% of their original size. Write an expression in simplest form for
o-na [289]
V=a ^{3} originally. Then you reduces the side lengths a so it will beV=( \frac{2}{5} a)^{3} = \frac{8}{125}a^{3}
Just note that 40% is the same as 2/5.<span />

Identify the intervals on which the function x^2 -2x -48 is positive
lions [1.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2x - 48

= (x - 8)(x + 6)

Coefficient of x² is positive, => Happy shape curved upwards

Hence x < -6 or x > 8.

A chocolate manufacturing company produces two types of chocolate: A and B. Ingredients required for manufacturing the products
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The maximum profit is when they make 10 units of A and 2 units of B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is units of milk

Let y units of cacao

Given that :

The company's production plant has a total of 22 units of milk and 46 units of cacao available.

2x + y ≤ 22 (2 unit of milk for each of A and 1 for B; 22 units available)

4x + 3y ≤46 (4 unit of milk for each of A and 3 for B; 46 units available

Graph the constraint equations and find the point of intersection to determine the feasibility region.

The intersection point (algebraically, or from the graph) is (10, 2)

The objective function for the problem is the total profit, which is $6.2 per unit for A and $4.2 per unit for B: 6.2x + 4.2y.

Hence, we substitute (10, 2)  into the above function:

6.2*10 + 4.2*2 = 70.4

The maximum profit is when they make 10 units of A and 2 units of B.

Solve the rational equation x divided by 6 equals x squared divided by quantity x minus 1 end quantity, and check for extraneous
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Solution: x=-\frac{1}{5},x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The rational equation to solve is given as:

\frac{x}{6}=\frac{x^2}{x-1}

Doing cross product, we get:

x\times (x-1)=6\times x^2\\x^2-x=6x^2\\\textrm{Bringing all variables to the right side, we get:}\\6x^2-x^2+x=0\\5x^2+x=0\\x(5x+1)=0\\x=0\ or\ 5x+1=0\\x=0\ or\ x=-\frac{1}{5}

Now, for x=0, the rational equation is equal to 0. So, x=0 is a solution.

Also, x=-\frac{1}{5} is also a solution.

So, no extraneous solution.

50% of what number is 31
Ivenika [448]

To find 50% or half, of 31, you can just add 31 + 31.

Or, 31 x 2.

Or even the longer way, we know 3 + 3 = 6. So we can just add 0's: 30 + 30 = 60. That leaves us with the 1's. 1 + 1 = 2.

Take our 60 from earlier, and add 2. 60 + 2 = 62.

Check your answer. 62/2 = 31.

Your answer is 62
