1. 3/6 = 1/2
2. 5/6
3. 3/6 : 3/6 = 3 : 3
4. 3/6 : 3/6 = 3 : 3
5. 5/6 : 1/6 = 5 : 1
7. 3/6 × 1/2 = 1/4
Use PEMDAS:-
3 - 3 × 6 + 2 = ?
3 - 18 + 2 = ?
-15 + 2 =
-13
3 - 3 × 6 + 2 = -13.
<h3>
Answer: 20% increase</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
A = old value = 110
B = new value = 132
C = percent change
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(132-110)/110
C = 20%
The positive C value means we have a percent increase, which corresponds to the fact that A = 110 increases to B = 132.
The B-A = 132-110 = 22 portion up top indicates that the increase is 22 pounds, which when divided over 110, gets us 22/110 = 0.20 = 20%
---------------
Checking the answer:
20% of 110 = 0.20*110 = 22
She's able to lift 22 extra pounds on top of the 110 pounds she can handle previously, so she can now lift 110+22 = 132 pounds. The answer is confirmed.
