Question

What is this percent of change, i'm confused? 1/4 to 1/8

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change= (1/4-1/8)/1/4 × 100%

= {(2 -1)/8} ÷ 1/4 × 100%

= (1/8 ÷ 1/4) × 100%

= 1/8 × 4/1 × 100%

=1/2 × 100%

= 50%

It is 50% change

Answer 2

Answer:

I believe the answer is 50%.

1/4 x 1/2 = 0.125

125/1000

125/1000 <-- divide numerator and denominator by 125

the above fraction simplifies to 1/8

So, one 1/4 is double the value of one 1/8
