You could make them have the same denominator, making it 7/10-5/10=2/10.
The answer is 2/10, or simplified, 1/5.
Answer:
Value of the car is decreasing by 13.9% each year.
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation tells us V(t) is the value of the car after a certain time in years, $21,000 is the initial value of the car. What we need to focus on is on the 0.861 part of this equation. This means that the price of the car is worth 0.861 or 86.1% of what it was worth the year prior, this means that the price of the car is decreasing over time. By how much is it decreasing? Well if we consider 1 to mean 100% (since 100 / 100 =1) then we have 100%-86.1%=13.9%. This means that the value of the car is decreasing 13.9% each year.
The best, closest quotient would be 87.
Using proportions, the coordinates of point G are given as follows:
(1.8, 1.6).
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.
The points A and B are given as follows:
A(-3, 4) and B(5,0).
For this problem, we have that the ratio of AG to GB is 3:2, hence:
AG = 3/5AB
G - A = 3/5(B - A).
The x-coordinate of G is found as follows:
x + 3 = 3/5(5 + 3)
x + 3 = 4.8
x = 1.8.
The y-coordinate of G is found as follows:
y - 4 = 3/5(0 - 4)
y - 4 = -2.4
y = 1.6.
Hence the coordinates of point G are given as follows:
(1.8, 1.6).
