Changing a fraction to its decimal form can be done by long division method. Dividing the denominator by its numerator will change the fraction into decimal form. Alternatively, you can use a calculator to do that for you. Below are the fractions with their decimal forms listed:
1.) 2/5 = 0.4 (D)
2.) 7/20 = 0.35 (A)
3.) 3/25 = 0.12 (C)
4.) 7/10 = 0.7 (B)
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.

Step-by-step explanation:
There were no given choices, but I did graph the equation using Desmos.
Choose the answer that is closest to this:
Answer:
On average, the land moved 0,14 cm each year.
Step-by-step explanation:
To know how much did, on average, the land move, we should divide the total number of cm over the total number of years:
x=24.8 cm/175 years
x=0,1417 cm each year
If we divide years over cm we will get x in years each cm, which is wrong.
Because the problem asks for the answer rounded to the hundredths place:
x= 0,14 cm each year
