If the original quantity is 8 and the new quantity is ​,2 what is the percent​ decrease?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

75% of 8 is 6.

8 was decreased by 6 to get 2.

8 was decreased by 75% of its initial value to get 2.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

8 - 100%

2 - x

[tex]\dfrac{8}{100 \%}=\dfrac{2}{x} \\\\x=\dfrac{2 \cdot 100 \%}{8} =25 \%[/tex]

100% - 25% = 75% - the percent decrease.

Solve using a proportion and an equation. Kendra found the experimental probability of her making a penalty kick in soccer is 3/10 or 30%. Out of 40 penalty kicks, how many could she predict she will make?

Answers

Answer: The predicted number of penalty kicks = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The experimental probability of her making a penalty kick in soccer is 3/10 or 30%.

So, the proportion of penalty kicks she make = 0.3

Out of 40 penalty kicks, the predicted number of penalty kicks = 0.3 x 40

= 12

Hence, the predicted number of penalty kicks = 12

A baker made 9 cupcakes, each a different type. Four people want to share them equally. How many cupcakes will each person get? DIvide and use in fraction form.

Answers

Answer: 2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a baker made 9 cupcakes which are to be shared equally by four people.

To get the number of cupcakes that each person gets, we divide the total number of cupcakes by the total number of people. This would be:

= 9 ÷ 4

= 2 1/4 cupcakes

Therefore, each person gets 2 1/4 cupcakes.

120 / 30 = 4

4 x 2 = 8

8 inches = 120 miles

To check;

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]\mathbf{ f(g(x))=x+2\sqrt{x} +1}[/tex]

b) [tex]\mathbf{f(g(9))=16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

[tex]f(x)=(x-2)^2\\g(x)=\sqrt{x} +3[/tex]

We need to find  [tex]a) f(g(x))\\b) f(g(9))[/tex]

a) First finding: [tex]f(g(x))[/tex]

It can be found by putting the value of g(x) into f(x)

We are given:

[tex]f(x)=(x-2)^2\\Put\:x=g(x)\:i.e. \: x= \sqrt{x} +3\\f(g(x))=(\sqrt{x} +3-2)^2\\Now\: solving:\\f(g(x))=(\sqrt{x} +1)^2\\Using\:formula\:\mathbf{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2}\\f(g(x))=(\sqrt{x})^2+2(\sqrt{x} )(1)+(1)^2\\ f(g(x))=x+2\sqrt{x} +1[/tex]

SO, we get: [tex]\mathbf{ f(g(x))=x+2\sqrt{x} +1}[/tex]

b) Now finding: [tex]f(g(9))[/tex]

It can be found by putting x=9 in f(g(x))

We have:

[tex]f(g(x))=x+2\sqrt{x} +1\\Put\:x=9\\f(g(9))=9+2\sqrt{9}+1\\We\:know\: \sqrt{9}=3\\ f(g(9))=9+2(3)+1\\f(g(9))=9+6+1\\f(g(9))=16[/tex]

So, we get: [tex]\mathbf{f(g(9))=16}[/tex]

3.) There are 3 brothers. The first brother is twice as old as the second. The second is twice as old as the third.
If the sum of their ages is 28, how old is each brother?

Answers

Answer:

The first brother is 16, the second brother is 8 and the third brother is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of all the brothers  is 28, that means the cap of how old the oldest can be is 28. I just stated with numbers less then 28 that were dividable by two which means all the numbers had to be. So 16 for the first, 8 for the second and 4 for the youngest is the right answer I hop.

Which one of the following does not describe Aaron Burr?


made unwise decisions

was wanted for murder in two states

led the Senate

had a law practice

a brilliant politician

Answers

Answer:

Aaron Burr wasn't a brilliant politician.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron Burr was an American politician and the third Vice President of the United States from 1801 to 1805. In 1800, he ran for the Democratic-Republicans with Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was supposed to be president and Burr vice president, but the then presidential election rules gave Jefferson and Burr equal votes in the Electoral College, and the election was ultimately decided in the House of Representatives. There, it were Jefferson and Burr's political rivals, the Federalists, who made the difference. Alexander Hamilton, the leader of the Federalists, eventually urged his party to back Jefferson, which helped make Hamilton and Burr deadly rivals. Burr had to settle for vice president under Jefferson.

On July 11, 1804, Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel in which Burr would fire the deadly shot. Burr was charged with murder in two states, but never prosecuted. After a short flight south, Burr returned to Washington to serve his term as vice president.  

After his term, Burr was suspected of involvement in a plot to create a separate republic in the then Southwestern US, headed by himself. For this he was arrested in 1807. He was tried for treason but was acquitted. After a stay abroad, Burr returned to New York in 1812 and resumed his career as a lawyer. He died in 1836 at the age of eighty and was buried in Princeton, New Jersey.

Find the next three terms of the following arithmetic sequence. -10, -3, 4, 11, (Three missing numbers)

Answers

Answer:

You can find the difference of two numbers easier if you take the absolute value of them (which is canseling out the negative or positive of them, and figuring out how far away from 0 they are) |-10| = 10, |-3| = 3, the difference between 10 and 3 is 7. The only problem that arises is now we are dealing with and negative and a positive, for this one you must see that to get from -3 to zero, you need to add 3, and to get from 0 to 4, you need to add 4, if you add 3, and then 4, you get 7

The difference between 10 and 3 is 7

The difference between -3 and 4 is 7

So naturally, the next number will be 4 + 7 = 11

If the chess club accepts 5 each week and they had 6 members after 6 weeks you should multiply 5x6=30. We don't know when the chess club started.. it could be 6 or 7 weeks ago and I'm pretty sure we all know that 7x5=35. but it only says 6 weeks ago so the answer is 7,
