Answer:

9.2 bookcases

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of bookcases repainted.

-Given the available paint is  4 3/5 gallons and that each bookcase consume 1/2 gallon, we equate and solve for X:

X=\frac{P_t}{P_b_c}, P_t=4\frac{3}{5}, P_{bc}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\\X=\frac{4\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\X=9\frac{1}{5}

Hence, the number of bookcases repaind is 9.2

Elena-2011 [213]
By definition we have that the average rate of change is given by:
 AVR = (f (x2) - f (x1)) / (x2 - x1)
 Substituting the values we have:
 AVR = (204 - (-6)) / (10 - 0)
 Rewriting we have:
 AVR = (204 + 6) / (10 - 0)
 AVR = 210/10
 AVR = 21
 Answer:
 
the average rate of change for f (x) from x = 0 to x = 10 is:
 
AVR = 21

Find the missing number:
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure if this is exactly correct, but let's say we start with 1 unit. If it increased by 25%, we get:

1 × 1.25 = 1.25 units.

Now, to get back to 1 unit, we need to find:

1.25 × ?  = 1

? = \frac{1}{1.25} = 0.80

So, 100% - 80 % = 20%

A 20% decrease.

Not completely sure though.
