In one year Angelicas height went from 60 inches to 63 inches what was the percent of increase in Angelicas height

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in one year Angelica's height went from 60 inches to 63 inches. We are asked to percent of increase in Angelica's height.

$\text{Percent change}=\frac{\text{Final}-\text{Initial}}{\text{Initial}}* 100$

$\text{Percent change}=(63-60)/(60)* 100$

$\text{Percent change}=(3)/(60)* 100$

$\text{Percent change}=(1)/(20)* 100$

$\text{Percent change}=5\%$

Therefore, the percent change of increase in Angelica's height is 5%.

Answer 2

Answer: 63-60=3
3 is what percent of 60?
multiply: x/100= 3/60
60x=300
divide by 60 on both sides
x=5

5% increase

you can also simply do 63/60 and subtract the "whole" which is 1 to get the increase since what you are trying to find out is 60 x ? = 63. But since it is asking for the percent increase, 1.05 would be adding 60x1.05 to 60 but what you actually want is 60x.05.

2/3 of a minute, because 2/3 is greater than 1/3.

For a Supplementary angle, what is THE VALUE OF X in this problem:
(4x + 40)degrees and 3x

Answers

if you add it all together it will be 180 so to work it out you would do this...
7x+40=180
7x=140
x=20

hope this helps :)

a supplementary angle means two angles that equal 180°

4x + 40 + 3x = 180

7x + 40 = 180
-40 -40
----------------
7x = 140 140 ÷ 7 = 20

The graph shows the relationship between the distance a truck can travel and the amount of gasoline used. What is the unit rate for the situation?

A. 1/7
B. 7 mpg
C. 35 mpg
D. 175 mpg

Answers

The unit rate for the situation that shows the relationship between the distance a truck can travel and the amount of gasoline used is 7 miles per gallon

The graph given is a straight line.

The unit rate in the situation will be gotten by finding the slope of the line graph.

The slope of the line is expressed using the formula:

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\n$
