On Monday she made 50 throws.
On Tuesday she made 56 throws.
a) The increase is just how much more she made the next day.
56 - 50 = 6
She had an increase of 6 free throws.
b) To find the percent increase, all you do is divide the two numbers.
56/50 = 1.12
To change that into a percentage, either multiply it by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the right.
1.12 × 100 = 112
She had a 112% increase in her free throws.
The answer is:
D. 6; 112%
The constant variation k is 12
Before we can make sure that E is correct, we need to make the denominator is equal with questions and the choices or convert into decimal.
2/3 = 0.66
1/3=0.33
1/5=0.2
2/6=1/3 = 0.33
1/2 = 0.5
7/10 = 0.7
7/9 = 0.77
The question is :
2/3 < x < 7/9
0.66 < x < 0.77
We need to divide into 2 parts :
0.66 < x
x < 0.77
So we need to find the answer that x is greater that 0.66 and we got 7/10. And 7/10 is less than 7/9.
Hope this helps. Please ask if you don't understand.
