Method 1:
Convert the mixed number to the improper fraction:

Make the product:

<em>canceled 2</em>

Method 2:


<em>use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

 
        
             
        
        
        
The rate of change is 16.8 million tons per year
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, the world catch of fish in 1950 was 12 million tons and in 1955 it was 96 million tons
<em><u>The average rate of change is given by formula:</u></em>

Value in 1950 = 12 million tons
Value in 1955 = 96 million tons
Change in value = value in 1955 - value in 1950
Change in value = 96 million - 12 million = 84 million tons
Number of years = 1950 to 1955 = 5 years
<em><u>Substitute the given values in formula,</u></em>
<em><u></u></em> <em><u></u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
Thus rate of change is 16.8 million tons per year
 
        
             
        
        
        
Starting more simply, if we wanted to know how many students like pink in general, that's 68/100. We could do that for each single category and the fractions would add together to equal 1. Now say we wanted to know something about that 68/100 people. That 68 is our new 100%, or another way of looking at it is if we take however many people like pink and don't like black and those that do like black, they will equal 68/68. 
The number of people that like pink but don't like black is 41/68 and those that like pink and black are 27/68. 27+41=68 For the question of your problem it is asking about those that do not like pink which you can tell from the table or use from my saying 68/100 like pink is 32. Now you can split that into those that do or don't like black, and the two results will equal 32/32.
