B. It is decreasing, as the hours increase, the gallons decrease
Answer: Option #4: the 0.2 could be changed to 2.
Explanation:
The table is designed to make the concept of percentages more understandable. The table first allocates the total amount of 70 in terms of its "fifths," or 20% parts. Then it expresses these parts in the last row of the table, showing that 20% of 70 is 14 and all the five parts sum up to 70 again.
Now, Mikel is supposed to express 40% of the amount. So she writes (incorrectly): 0.2 * 14. This statement needs to be changed to 2 * 14 (two times 14 = 28), to correspond to 2 times 20%, or 40% of 70.
This is reflected in the last (fourth) option "The 0.2 in the expression could be changed to 2."
Option #3 is incorrect because changing 14 to 70, will result in an incorrect number (2.8).
Options 1 and 2 are similarly incorrect (as can be easily verified)

Answer:
length = 14 feet
width = 6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 84 feet square
ratio of length and width = 7 : 3
total ratio of length and width 10 = a
length = (7/10)a
width = (3/10)a
A = length x width = (7/10)a x (3/10)a = (21/100)a² = 84
a² = 84 x 100 : 21 = 400
a = 20 feet
length = 7/10 x 20 = 14 feet
width = 3/10 x 20 = 6 feet
