Answer:

  28%

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the fractional increase in the number of mathletes, and if problem-solving speed is jointly proportional to their speed and their number, we want ...

  (1 +25%)(1 +x) = (1 +60%)

  1 +x = 1.60/1.25 = 1.28

  x = 0.28 = 28%

The team size must increase by 28% to solve all of the problems on time.

Use the GCF and distribute property to express the sum as a product 20+60

20(1+3)

The greatest common factor between the two numbers is 20, because both numbers are divisible by 20. It cannot be any higher because 20 is one of the numbers itself. You divide this out of both numbers and put it outside the function with the use of parenthesis.

Which number line correctly shows –0.8 + 0.6? A number line going from negative 1.6 to positive 1.6. An arrow goes from negative
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Hi there, are you sure you didn't forget any parenthesis or signs? I can't find the right answer in the options, the one that would end up at -0.2 in the end I can edit my answer if you tell me some additional option or info about the expression I need to show on the number line

Step-by-step explanation:

which number line shows correctly -0.8 + 0.6?

well lets write it in words minus eight tenths plus six tenths\

so minus:

you go 0.8 units to the left from 0,

then plus:

you go 0.6 units right from -0.8, getting to -0.2

since there is no exact answer like that we can rearrange the addends 0.6-0.8, now:

we go from 0 6 tenths units to the right and get to 0.6, then we go from 0.6 eight tenths unit to the left to get to -0.2
