To increase an amount by 5.4% what single multiplier would you use

1 answer:

7 0

I would use the decimal form of 5.4%. It is very easy to convert a percentage into a decimal. All you have to do is move the decimal point two places to the left and remove the % sign.

5.4% = 0.054

So, 0.054 would be your multiplier.

Which are correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)? Select two options.

avanturin [10]

The correct simplified inequality is - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x and the number line representation is "an open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right".

The given inequality is -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x)

We need to simplify the inequality.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

In mathematics, inequality is a statement of an order relationship greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Consider LHS and simplify -3(2x - 5) = -3(2x)-5(-3)

⇒ -3(2x - 5) = - 6x + 15 [∵(-)(-) = (+)]

Consider RHS and simplify 5(2 - x) = 5(2) + 5(-x)

⇒5(2 - x) = 10 - 5x [∵(+)(-) = (-)]

Now, - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

By subtracting 15 from both sides, we get

- 6x < -5 - 5x

By adding 5x to both sides, we get - x < - 5

The coefficient of x is -1. So, divide both sides by -1

Then we get x > 5

Hence, the correct simplified inequality is - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x and the number line representation is "an open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right".

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 mi and a speed of 440 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. find the rate a

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
sin(α) = 3/4
and
cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4

The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
(440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph

Two trains are 500 miles apart when they first enter a collision course. If, after two hours, the distance between them is 300 m

deff fn [24]

60 miles per hour. In two miles the sum of the distance the two trains traveled was 200 miles, you divide that by 2, the sum of the speed of the two trains is 100 miles per hour, now put the speed of the slow train as x and the fast as x +20, the sum of x and x +20 is 100, so 2x + 20 =100, you subtract 20 from both sides, 2x = 80, divide by 2, x = 40, the problem asks for the speed of the fast train, so, x + 20 is 60.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLY-IST

Reika [66]

Answer:

39 athletes

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 45 people on the bus. This INCLUDES the athletes (A), 2 coaches and 4 managers.

Therefore, we need to sum A, 2 and 4 and equal it to 45:

2 + 4 + A = 45 so we need to used equation d.

To calculate how many athletes are on the bus, find the value of A:

2 + 4 + A = 45

Subtract 2 from both sides: 4 + A = 43

Subtract 4 from both sides: A = 39
