Algebra help please?
Anastaziya [24]

Mistake:

Step 2

Instead of multiplying it should divide:

(5a^2/ 9b^2) / (3a / b^2 a)

(5a^2 / 9b^2) * (b^2a / 3a)

5a^2b^2 / 27b^2a

b^2 / b^2 = 1

a^2 / a = a

5a / 27

amid [387]

Answer:

$a decreased by 25% and $1.2a decreased by 40%

$a decreased by 25% = 0.75a

1.2a decreased by 40% = 0.6*1.2a = 0.72a

2) $b increased by 250% and $2b increased by 50%

$b increased by 250% = 2.5b

$2b increased by 50% = 1.5*2b = 3b
