Answer:

Tiffany is 34% closer to the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: Tiffany used to live 15 kilometers away from the school, but after she moved she now lives 9.9 kilometers away.

She lived away from the school = 15 km

as, she moved 9.9 km away.

Now, the distance closer to school from where she lived = 15 -9.9 = 5.1 km

To, find how much percent she is closer to school.

Percent states that a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

percent = \frac{5.1}{15} \times 100 = \frac{51 \times 100}{150} = \frac{51 \times 10}{15}

Simplify:

percent closer to school = 34%

Therefore, she is 34% closer to the school.

joja [24]

Answer:

3/10 of the whole cake

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide a cake in halve you get 5 pieces on each side, if Kim ate 3/5 of 1/2 of the cake, then she ate 3 pieces, so she ate 3/10 of the cake, and other way to figure this out is multiplying the two fractions, 3/5 x 1/2 = 3/10
