Answer:

  decrease of 64.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage change can be calculated from ...

  pct change = ((new value)/(original value) -1) × 100%

  = (50/140 -1) × 100%

  = (-9/14)×100% = -64 2/7% ≈ -64.3%

The price of crude fell about 64.3% in that period.

If 3mile=28 min
x mile=42 min
cross multiply
x=3/28
therefore if 3/28=1 min
then x mile= 42 min
cross multiply
42 x 3/28 =21 x 3/14
                =3 x 3/1

At the start of the diet keirin weighted 14 stone 13 pounds three months later he weighted 13 stone 10 pounds there are 14 pound
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The amount of weight he has lost in 3 months is 1.215 stone or 1 stone 3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are to calculate the amount of weight he has lost in three months

1 stone = 14 pounds

Let's convert all the weight lost to stone

At the start of the diet keirin weighted 14 stone 13 pounds

14 pounds = 1 stone

13 pounds = x

Cross Multiply

14x = 13

x = 13/14

x = 0.9285714286 stone

Approximately = 0.929 stone

Hence:

14 stone 13 pounds = 14 + 0.929 = 14.929 stone

Three months later he weighted 13 stone 10 pounds

14 pounds = 1 stone

10pounds = x

Cross Multiply

14x = 10

x = 10/14

x = 0.7142857143 stone

Approximately = 0.714 stone

Hence:

13 stone 10 pounds = 13 + 0.714 = 13.714 stone

The amount of weight he has lost is calculated as:

14.929 stone - 13.714 stone = 1.215 stone or 1 stone 3 pounds
