Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.
Percentage decrease would be expressed as
Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100
It becomes
5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%
First start by subtracting:
50-8=42
the new equation is:
6x=42
then divide:
42/6=7
So the answer is:
x=7

Answer:
1 < x < 29
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle inequality requires the sum of the two shortest sides exceed the longest side.
<u>When x and 14 are the shortest</u>:
x + 14 > 15
x > 1
<u>When 14 and 15 are the shortest</u>:
14 +15 > x
29 > x
Then the requirement for the length of x is ...
1 < x < 29

The recipe makes 8 pancakes.
He wants to make 12 pancakes.
First, find out how many times what he needs is compared to the recipe.
He wants 12 pancakes; the recipe makes 8 pancakes.
12/8 = 1.5
He wants to make 1.5 times the recipe.
Now multiply every ingredient amount by 1.5 to find what he needs to make 12 pancakes.
