Answer:
Length = 30√2 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a plot of land of square shape that has 30 yards on each side. Jules owns this plot. He plans to divide the land in half by building a fence along the diagonal of the plot.
We have to calculate the length of the fence.
Now, the length of the diagonal will be the length of the fence.
So, the length =
yards. (Answer)
<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05
Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05
Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20
Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26
This is a net increase of 26%
Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.
----------------
An example:
Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)
An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C
A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C
The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.
Answer: 2.225 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that:
- The total weight the farmer sold was 8.9 kilograms.
- 3/4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears.
Therefore, to calculate the amount of kilograms of pears she sold at the farmer's market (which you can call x), you need to apply the following proccedure.
Thefore, you obtain the following result:
