Answer:
14) false
15) false
Step-by-step explanation:
14) 120% of a positive whole number is always greater than the number. If the number is 1, 120% of it would give us 1.2 which is greater than 1. However if the number is a negative whole number, 120% of it would give us a smaller number. Let's try -1. 120% of -1 would give us -1.2, which is smaller than -1. Hence the statement is false.
15) 0.5% of a number is 0.5/100 of the number so we should multiply the number by 5/1000. 5/100 is only 5% of the number. Hence the statement is also false.
Converting 200 miles to the amount of carbon dioxide emission that would be 1.884 tons annually. This will be the amount of carbon dioxide given that 200 miles is monthly covered.
