When finding the percent difference between two numbers, there are two ways you can do this.

1. The first way is how to calculate the percentage INCREASE of two numbers:

-The formula is Increase / Original Number × 100 = % increase

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. New number - Original number = Increase.

Step 2: Divide the increase by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. (If your answer is a negative number, then it is a percent decrease, not a percent increase.)

2. The second way is how to calculate the percentage DECREASE of two numbers:

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. Original number - New number = Decrease.

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100 = % Decrease. (If your answer is a negative number, then is is a percent increase, not a percent decrease.)

39 ft/min is how many yd/s
Arlecino [84]
0.0181 yd/s. To solve this problem you use dimensional analysis. You convert the feet and minutes to yards and seconds by using this process. The units of feet and minutes cancel out, so you are left with yards per second. You should get 0.0180555555 when you multiply and divide everything, but you can just round it to 0.0181 or whatever place your teacher wants.
