Answer:

It was approximately a 9% decrease. (If you need to round to the nearest tenth, 9.1. If you need to round to the nearest hundredth, 9.10).

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to assume that the question means that Andrea could have earned 220 points on the assignment, but instead because the assignment was late, she was marked down 20 points. (Reduced to 20 points is kind of awkward wording).

Given that, 20 divided by 220 comes out to 0.0909 repeating.

0.09, as a percentage, is 9%. (Again, 0.0909, 9.09%, could be rounded up to 9.1%).

Hope this helps!

Tell whether the triangle with the given side lengths is a right triangle.<br> 10in., 24in., 26in.

ra1l [238]

Answer- Yes it is a right triangle.
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
( a^2 + b^ = c^2 ) and replace a with 10, b with 24, and c with 26 and the equation will be balanced on both sides.

(10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2)
(100 + 576 = 676 )

DEF is a dilation image of ABC. What is the scale factor?

horsena [70]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔDEF is a dilation image of ΔABC.

Rule for the dilation,

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Length of one side of the image triangle}}{\text{Length of one side of the original triangle}}$

= $\frac{DE}{AB}$

= $\frac{4}{8}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, scale factor by which ΔABC is dilated is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Option (2) will be the correct option.

A box of chocolates contains 18 chocolate squares, tens of the square are milk chocolate, 5 are dark chocolate, and 3 are.white

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

0.167 ; 0.093

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of chocolate squares = 18 of which÷

Number of milk chocolate square = 10

Dark chocolate square = 5

White chocolate square= 3

Probability of choosing a white chocolate square :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = white chocolate square = 3

Number of chocolate square = 18

P(choosing a white chocolate square) = 3 / 18 = 1/6 =

B) probability of randomly selecting a milk chocolate first, replace it, and then select a white chocolate?

With replacement :

First pick :

Number milk chocolate = 10

P(choosing a milk chocolate) = 10/18 = 5/9

Second pick:

Number of white chocolate = 3

P(choosing a white chocolate) = 3 / 18 = 1/6

Hence, since both probabilities are independent :

P(choosing milk, then white chocolate) :

(5/9 × 1/6) = 5/54 = 0.0925 = 0.093

let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges.

TOTAL: x + y = 112

y = 112 - x

PEELED: $\frac{3}{8}x = \frac{1}{2}y$

$(8)\frac{3}{8}x = (8)\frac{1}{2}y$

3x = 4y

3x = 4(112 - x)

3x = 448 - 4x

7x = 448

x = 64

y = 112 - x

= 112 - 64

= 48

a) There are 64 apples and 48 oranges

Peeled apples: $\frac{3}{8}x = \frac{3}{8}(64)$ = 3(8) = 24

Unpeeled apples: 64 - 24 = 40

Unpeeled - Peeled: 40 - 24 - 16

b) there are 16 more unpeeled apples than peeled apples
