Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by 2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by 10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

x-t1-t2= 3.6
x= 3.6+ t1+ t2
x= 3.6+ 2.1+ 10
x= 15.7

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

What is 75 2/5% in decimal
krok68 [10]

Answer:

.754

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage is based off of 1 or 100% which is equal to 1. So 50% or half of both 100% and 1 would be translated as .5 and as the percentage becomes more accurate or lengthy you add to the decimal so 53% is .53 and 53.4% is .534
