Step-by-step explanation:
X^4 is the simplified answer
so, you're correct, it is the Food industry, and it went down from 2.7 to 2.5, well, so it really went down 2.7 - 2.5 or 0.2.
well, if we take 2.7 to be the 100% from that row, what is 0.2 off of it in percentage format?

For this question I'm just going to use / as a square root sign because I don't know how to do it on a computer. Anyways...
So you have /45
Now you have to find a factor that is also a perfect square which is 9 (because 9x5=45)

Since 9 is a perfect square (/9=3)
You can re write it is 3/5 which is the answer
