(12 - 9) / 12 = (40 - x) / 40
3/12 = (40 - x) / 40
40(1/4) = 40 - x
10 = 40 - x
10 - 40 = -x
-30 = -x
30 = x <=== percent decrease from 40 to 30

Terrence is folding paper cranes at a constant rate. Write an equation to describe the relationship between c, the number of cra
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

It is c = kt.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is direct variation . As the time increases the number of cranes increases.

The equation is c = kt  where k is the constant  of variation.  In this case it will be a positive value because c is increasing with time.

If they make 20 cranes in 10 minutes then we can find the value of k by plugging in these values;

20 = k * 10

g = 20/10

k = 2.

So they make 2 cranes per minute.

A school principal has to choose randomly among the six best students in each grade to be the school captain every month. For th
Viefleur [7K]

Since there are 6 students out of which one needs to be selected, the principal chose two die on which there are six numbers each numbered from 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Since there are two dice, the total possible outcome is 36.

Hence, the probability of getting one number each is 1/36

Hence, the principal used a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Option B is correct.
