Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

With four individuals, each receives 25% of the halwa. Yet, when a fifth individual joins, each share drops to 20%. Consequently, the original four individuals experience a 5% reduction in their servings due to the new arrival.

Find the slope of a pipe that slopes down 2/5 inch per foot.
babunello [11817]

Answer:

m=\frac{1}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the slope, divide the rise by the run to calculate the slope.

Note that

1 ft = 12 in

Let

y ----> the rise

x ----> the run

m ----> the slope

m=\frac{y}{x}

the values are given as

y=2/5\ in

x=1\ ft=12\ in

m=\frac{y}{x}

substituting these values gives

m=\frac{(2/5)}{12}

m=\frac{2}{60}

Simplifying further

m=\frac{1}{30}

Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age. Suri is 17 years old. Which method can be used to find c, her cousin's age?
zzz [12365]

Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Suri is 17 years old.

Her cousin's age is c.

Suri's age is stated to be 4 less than 3 times her cousin’s age.

This means we take 3 times her cousin’s age and subtract 4.

17 = 3c - 4

We now need to solve for c, which represents her cousin's age.

Add 4 to each side:

17 + 4 = 3c - 4 + 4

17 + 4 = 3c

21 = 3c

Now divide both sides by 3:

21/3 = 3c/3

7 = c

Thus,

Her cousin is 7 years old.
