Given <span>-2.8k-4.31=-15.79 :
1) Isolate the "k" term on the left by adding 4.31 to both sides of this equation.
2) Simplify the right side.
3) Divide both sides by -2.8 and you'll have the answer: k = ?</span>
5/6 of an hour is 50 min. So 50 times 3 equals 150 min for reading. 3/4 of an hour is 45 min. 45 times 2 equals 90 min for science. And 1/2 of an hour is 30 min. So 30 times 4 equals 120 mins for math. Add 150,90, and 120 min all together and you get 360 mins total. Divide 360 by 60, and you get 6 hours total that Michaela spent on reading, math, and science. Not 2 1/2.
First, find the different of the two weights
d = 1,200 - 550
d = 650
The different of the weights is 650
Second, to find the percentage, we should compare the difference to the former weight. So we compare 650 to 1,200, then multiply it to 100%
percentage = 650/1,200 × 100%
percentage = (65,000/1,200) %
percentage = 51.17%
percentage = 51%
The percent of increase is 51%
