By what percent will a fraction increase if its numerator is decreased by 30%

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nadya [2.5K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = numerator

Let y = denominator

\implies \dfrac{x}{y}

Decreased by 30% = 100% - 30% = 70% = 70/100 = 0.7

Decreased by 50% = 100% - 50% = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

\implies \dfrac{0.7x}{0.5y}

\implies \dfrac{0.7}{0.5}=1.4

\implies 1.4 \ \dfrac{x}{y}

1.4 as a percentage = 1.4 x 100 = 140%

Therefore, the percentage increase is 140 - 100 = 40%

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't state the sentences but let me help out based on the information given.

Number of new motion toys = 12

Number of batteries used by each toy = 3

Since N represents the total number of batteries he need, the value of N will be:

= Number of toys × Number of batteries used by each toy

= 12 × 3

= 36

That means N equals 36.

Anton [14]
The question given above may be answered through the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio of the man's weight on Earth and Mars should be equal to the ratio of the rock's weight on Earth and Mars. By letting x be the rock's mas on Earth, the equation that would best represent the situation is,
                          180 / 72 = x / 16
The value of x is equal to 40. Thus, the rock weighs 40 pounds on Earth.
