Closest together means that the difference between the high and the low is the smallest.
Atlanta:
106 - -12 = 118
Boston:
103 - -19 = 122
Chicago:
100 - -32 = 132
Dallas:
111 - -8 = 119
The city that has the record high and low closest together is A) Atlanta.
Hope this helps!! :)
Okay, so we know a number of students and the amount of girls as a bracket. So what we have to do now is multiply them with each other.
28 *4/7 = 16
So there are 16 girls in Mr. Chang´s class.
You can also determine the boys by - the students with the girls:
28-16=12 boys
Have a nice day :D
In linear change, the two variables keep increasing or decreasing at the same speed.
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
