Question

Identify the percent of change as an increase or a decrease. 1/4 to 1/2 Find the percent of change. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Increase by 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase/decrease:

1. Subtract the original value from the new value.
2. Divide by the original value.
3. Multiply the decimal by 100 to convert to a percent.

Follow these steps below. Notice the fractions 1/2 and 1/4 have been converted to decimals to more easily work with them. Remember 1/2 = 0.5 and 1/4 = 0.25.

1/2 - 1/4 = 0.5 - 0.25 = 0.25

0.25/0.25 = 1

1*100 = 100%
