During the financial crisis of 2008, the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil fell a high of $140 per barrel to around $50 per barrel. What is the percent decrease in the price of oil that occurred during this period.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

  decrease of 64.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage change can be calculated from ...

  pct change = ((new value)/(original value) -1) × 100%

  = (50/140 -1) × 100%

  = (-9/14)×100% = -64 2/7% ≈ -64.3%

The price of crude fell about 64.3% in that period.

Mexine can stack 20 boxes in 15 minutes. how long will it take her to stack 100 boxes

Answers

lets use a rule of three simple with direct proportion to solve:
 20 boxes -----> 15 min
100 boxes ----> x
x = (100)(15)/20
x = 75
therefore it takes 75 mins to stack 100 boxes

If we use fractions to solve:
15/20 = x/100
and solve for x.
20/15 = 100/y
solve for y

What is calories ???​

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Calories, in the realm of nutrition, represent units of energy derived from food and beverages. Specifically, we refer to kilocalories, denoting the energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. These units quantify the potential energy our bodies extract from consumed food, fueling essential physiological functions such as metabolism, movement, and overall bodily maintenance. It's essential to recognize that the caloric content varies among macronutrients; fats, proteins, and carbohydrates offer differing amounts of energy per gram. Monitoring calorie intake and expenditure plays a pivotal role in weight management, where achieving a balance between calories consumed and calories burned through physical activity is a key consideration.

Find the average rate of change from x = 10 to x = 17 for the function f(x) = 0.01(2)^x and select the correct answer below.A) 10.24
B) 185.78
C) 1300.48
D) 1310.72

Answers

For x = 10, f(x) = f(10) = 0.01(2)^10 = 10.24

For x = 17, f(x) = f(17) = 0.01(2)^17 = 1310.72

Now using formula for the calculation of average rate of change of f(x).

(f(b) – f(a)) / b – a = (f(17) – f(10)) / 17 – 10 = (1310.72 -10.24) / 7 = 185.78

So option “B” is correct.

Answer:

the answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose a and b give the population of two states where a > b. compare expressions and tell which of the given pair is greater or if the expressions are equal. 1. b/a+b and 0.52. a+13c and b+13c is the population of a third state3. a-b/2 and a-b/24. a+b and 2b5. 5(a+b) and (a+b)5

Answers

Answer:

We are given that a>b.

1)(b)/(a+b) and 0.5

we know that a>b

⇒ a+b>b+b

⇒a+b>2b

⇒  (b)/(a+b)<(1)/(2)=0.5

2) a+13c and b+13c is the population of a third state.

so, a+13c>b+13c

3) both the given expressions are same i.e.

(a-b)/(2)

4) a+b and 2b

we know that a>b

⇒ a+b>b+b

a+b>2b.

5) both the given expressions are same i.e. 5(a+b) or (a+b)5 since we have to multiply (a+b) and 5.
