Hey, here it is: 2,4 x 10^-6
Answer:
Smaller number-47.5
Larger number-52.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We will make the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, then the larger number will be equal to x+5. We also know that when we add the two numbers, we get 100. We can make the equation
x+x+5=100
100-5=95
2x=95
95/2=47.5
x=47.5
The smaller number equals 47.5 and the larger number is 47.5+5 which equals 52.5
There is a lot to go over here. Unfortunately it looks like you got a lot incorrect. I'll focus on two problems. Hopefully these examples below will help correct the other mistakes.

Problem 7)
We have the starting value be 20 and the ending value be 11. Subtract the values: (end)-(start) = 11 - 20 = -9. The negative indicates we have a drop or decrease.
We'll focus on the positive version of this number, so 9. Divide this value over the starting amount 20 to get 9/20 = 0.45 = 45%
So going from 20 miles to 11 miles is a decrease of 45%
Answer to problem 7 is: 45%

Problem 13)
An increase of 300% means we added 3 times the original amount onto the original amount.
We take 300% of 25 to get 3*25 = 75
Which is then added onto 25 to get 25+75 = 100
Answer to problem 13 is: 100
