25% reduced
you take 337.50 divide by 450 which gives you .75 
so you take 100% minus 75% and you get 25% 
you can check the work by taking 450 time .25 which gives you 112.5 . and subtract that from 450 you'll end up with 337.50
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the average rate of change of each given function over the interval [-2, 2]]:
✔️ Average rate of change of m(x) over [-2, 2]:
Average rate of change = 
Where,
a = -2, m(a) = -12
b = 2, m(b) = 4
Plug in the values into the equation 
Average rate of change = 
= 
Average rate of change = 4
✔️ Average rate of change of n(x) over [-2, 2]:
Average rate of change = 
Where,
a = -2, n(a) = -6
b = 2, n(b) = 6
Plug in the values into the equation 
Average rate of change = 
= 
Average rate of change = 3
✔️ Average rate of change of q(x) over [-2, 2]:
Average rate of change = 
Where,
a = -2, q(a) = -4
b = 2, q(b) = -12
Plug in the values into the equation 
Average rate of change = 
= 
Average rate of change = -2
✔️ Average rate of change of p(x) over [-2, 2]:
Average rate of change = 
Where,
a = -2, p(a) = 12
b = 2, p(b) = -4
Plug in the values into the equation 
Average rate of change = 
= 
Average rate of change = -4
The answer is D. Only p(x) has an average rate of change of -4 over [-2, 2]
 
        
             
        
        
        
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
