I am working percentages increases and decreases with problems like From 24 pencils to 30 pencils (increase  question) or From 20 miles to 11 miles ( decrease question) How can I check my answers of percentages to make sure they work? Please help!

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 24 pencils = 100%
30 pencils = ___%
30 - 24 = 6, so:

24 / 6 = 4 (it means that there are 4 sixes in 100%)
100% / 4 = 25%

Check: 25% * 24 = 25/100 * 24 = 1/4 * 24 = 6
30 - 6 = 24 (correct)
Answer: There was an increase by 25%

20 miles = 100%
11 miles = ___%
1 mile = 100% / 20 = 5%, so:

5 * 11 = 55 [percent]
100% - 55% = 45%

Check: 45% * 20 = 45/100 * 20 = 45/10 * 2 = 9/2 * 2 = 9
20 - 9 = 11 (correct)
Abswer: There was a decrease by 45%

A recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of milk. How many cups of milk, written as a fraction greater than one, are used in the recipe?

Answers

The required fraction is given as 11/4, which is greater than one.

Given that,

A recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of milk, how many cups of milk, written as a fraction greater than one, are used in the recipe is to be determined.

What is the fraction?

Fraction is defined as the number of compositions that constitutes the Whole.

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
cup of milk in a recipe = 2 3/4
                                     = 2 + 3 / 4 = 11/4 = 2.75 > 1

Thus, the required fraction is given as 11/4, which is greater than one.

6.5 hours. The reason being is that i did 8x6, and got 48, then realized that another .5 would get me 48+4=52, which would fufill the equation

8x6.5=52 
Answer: 6.5 Hours 

Answer:6.5


Step-by-step explanation:


The equation represents the function f, and the graph represents the function g. f(x)=6x-5A.

The rate of change of f is twice the rate of change of g.

B.

The rate of change of g is twice the rate of change of f.

C.

The rate of change of f is 3 times the rate of change of g.

D.

The rate of change of f is the same as the rate of change of g.

Answers

Answer:

A. The rate of change of f is twice the rate of change of g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first function is f(x)=6x-5

The slope of this function is the coefficient of x. It is the same as the rate of change of f(x)

m=6

From the graph, g(x) passes through(-2,-4) and (0,2)

We use the slope formula: (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) to find the slope of g(x).

m=(2--4)/(0--2)=(6)/(2) =3

Since 6=2(3), we conclude that, the rate of change of f is twice the rate of change of g.

What is 3/4 of a 2 liter bottle in millimeters

Answers

I believe you meant milliliters.  If so the answer is 1500ml

2 liters = 2000ml

2000/4 = 500 for 1/4

We need 3/4 so we multiply 500 X 3 and get 1500ml
If there are 1000 mL in one L we have 1000 plus half is 500 and half of that is 250 which means that 3/4 is 750 add to get 1750 mL
