To change from percent to decimal, move the decimal place to the left two times. In this case the decimal is after the 75. so the decimal is .75 To write .75 as a fraction put 75/100 because it is in the hundredths place. Reduce by dividing both parts by 25. the fraction is 3/4

Hope that helped! if you don't get it ask and ill re explain!

.75 and 3/4
It's equivalent to 75/100, and you want to pull 25 out of each to simplify to 3/4

Find the area of trapezoid JKLM. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

maksim [4K]

from the diagram, we can see that the height or line perpendicular to the parallel sides is 8.5.

likewise we can see that the parallel sides or "bases" are 24.3 and 9.7, so

$\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=8.5\\ a=24.3\\ b=9.7 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{8.5(24.3+9.7)}{2}\\\\ A=\cfrac{8.5(34)}{2}\implies A=144.5~in^2 \end{array}$
