Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So Blakes sleep 8 hours per night during the school day
8 hours/night...................................100%
6.5 hours/night...................................?
6.5*100/8=81.25
the change in percentage is 100-81.25=18.75%
the percentage change is 18.75
if it is easier for you, another method is:
8-6.5=1.5 subtract the original amount to the new amount
1.5/8=0.1875 divide by the original amount
0.1875*100=18.75 find the percentage
A GCF ( Greatest Common Factor) is one factor that can be split evenly between the two numbers you have chosen.
For example, the greatest common factor of 4 and 8 would be 4 because this is the greatest number that can be split evenly with the numbers I have chosen.
I hope this helped.
