Answer:
9/5
Explanation:
original fraction : x/y
new fraction = .9x/(.5y)
= 9x/5y
(9x/5y) / (x/y)
= 9x/5y * y/x
= 9/5
= 1.8
so it increased by 80%
e.g suppose we had 100/200 or 1/2
new fraction = 90/100 or 9/10
new ratio = (9/10) / (1/2)
= 9/5
Answer:
119.24
Explanation:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 369 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=36.
Step 4: In the same vein, x% = 440.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:100%=369(1) 440(2) = x%
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have 100%/x% = 369/440
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields x%/100% = 440/369
Therefore, 440 is 119.24% of 369.
