Answer:
The fraction will increase by 100%
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the fraction is x/y. The question is telling us to decrease x by 20% (i.e. 0.8x) and to decrease y by 60% (i.e. 0.4y):
You can see that by applying these changes, the new fraction is actually double the old fraction (i.e. will increase by 100%).
Answer: Part B
Step-by-step explanation:
X = 9
y = 6
Step by step:
Divide 15 by 2: 15 ÷ 2 = 7.5
Subtract 0.5 from 7.5 (this will later be added back): 7.5 - 0.5 = 7
Subtract 1 from 7 (she wants to buy at least 2 more children books): 7 - 1 = 6
Subtract 6 from 15 (6 being the number of puzzle books, 15 being the total number of items): 15 - 6 = 9 (number of children books)
Permutation so 5!/(5-3)!=5!/2!= 5 x 3 x 4= 60 ways.
