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%

A scientist has a container of 2% acid solution and a container of 5% acid solution. How many fluid ounces of each concentration
algol [13]

Let 'a' be the number of ounces of 2%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture

and 'b' be the number of ounces of 5%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture.

Since, fluid ounces of each concentration should be combined to make 25 fl oz.

So, a+b=25 (Equation 1)

And, a container of 2% acid solution and a container of 5% acid solution should be combined to make 25 fl oz of 3.2% acid solution.

So, a of 2% + b of 5% = 3.2% of 25

(a \times \frac{2}{100})+(b \times \frac{5}{100})= 25 \times \frac{3.2}{100}

(0.02a)+(0.05b)= 0.8

Multiplying the above equation by 100, we get

2a+5b=80 (Equation 2)

Substituting the value of a=25-b in equation 2, we get

2(25-b)+5b=80

50-2b+5b=80

50+3b=80

3b=30

b=10

Since, a=25-b

a= 25-10

a=15.

So, 15 fluid ounces of 2% solution combined with 10 ounces of the 5% solution to create a 25-ounce mixture at 3.2% concentration of acid.

When you multiply a pair of conjugates you get a real number
marusya05 [52]

Answer: The complex conjugate has a very special property. Consider what happens when we multiply a complex number by its complex conjugate. We find that the answer is a purely real number  it has no imaginary part. This always happens when a complex number is multiplied by its conjugate the result is real number.

Real numbers can be positive or negative, and include the number zero. They are called real numbers because they are not imaginary, which is a different system of numbers

Step-by-step explanation: Every complex number has a complex conjugate. The complex conjugate of a + bi is a - bi. For example, the conjugate of 3 + 15i is 3 - 15i, and the conjugate of 5 - 6i is 5 + 6i.

Aidan has 20 ft of fence with which to build a rectangular dog run. What is the maximum area he can enclose? Enter your answer i
irina1246 [14]
<h2>Maximum area is 25 m²</h2>

Explanation:

Let L be the length and W be the width.

Aidan has 20 ft of fence with which to build a rectangular dog run.

         Fencing = 2L + 2W  = 20 ft

                     L + W = 10

                      W = 10 - L

We need to find what is the largest area that can be enclosed.

     Area = Length x Width

      A = LW

       A = L x (10-L) = 10 L - L²

For maximum area differential is zero

So we have

      dA = 0

      10 - 2 L = 0

        L = 5 m

      W = 10 - 5 = 5 m

Area = 5 x 5 = 25 m²

Maximum area is 25 m²
