Answer:

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

Water wasted last year = 75,900 gallons

Water wasted this year = 44,022 gallons

Percentage decrease in the amount of water wasted yearly = (Water wasted last year - Water wasted this year) / Water wasted last year × 100

= (75,900 - 44,022) / 75,900 × 100

= 31,878 / 75,900 × 100

= 0.42 × 100

= 42%

Percentage decrease in the amount of water wasted yearly is 42%

timama [110]
8/5  is rational. It is expressed as a ratio of two integers.

√4 = 2 = 2/1 . This is rational because it expressed as ratio of two integers.

√64 = 8. This is rational because it expressed as ratio of two integers.

√10 = 3.16227..... The decimal part does not end and it is irrational because it can not be expressed as ratio of two integers.

Therefore √10 is irrational.
