Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rectangle has length 4 inches and width 2 inches.

Area = Length x width

= 4 inches x  2 inches

= 8 square inches

If length is reduced by 50% , then length =0.5\times4=2\text{ inches}

If width is reduced by 50% , then length =0.5\times2=1\text{ inch}

Reduced area = (reduced length) x (reduced width)

= 2 inches x 1 inch

= 2 square inches

The percentage of the area of the rectangle be reduced :-

\dfrac{\text{Reduced area}}{\text{Original area}}\times100 \\\\=\dfrac{2}{8}\times100\% \\\\=25\%

Hence, the percent of the area of the rectangle be reduced = 25%

Starting from 100 feet away, your friend skates toward you and then passes by you. She skates at a constant speed of 20 ft/sec.
amm1812

Your friend's distance from her starting point to your position is decreasing until she passes by you.  This distance is D(t) = 100 ft - (20 ft / sec)t.  We'll assume that your friend doesn't actually pass by you; she just gets closer and closer, from her initial 100 ft distance from you.  Then:

D(t) = 40 ft = 100 ft - (20 ft / sec)t.  Simplifying, we get:

-60 ft = -(20 ft / sec)t, and thus t = 3 sec.

Consider Frank's math test scores for the semester. Find the interquartile range of the scores.
musickatia [10]
Okay so you put the numbers in order:
70, 74, 81, 82, 83, 91, 94.

Then you find the median which will be Q2:
82.

Once you have the total median, you find the midpoint of the first and last part:
70, 74, 81. Midpoint/Q1=74
83, 91, 94. Midpoint/Q3=91

Now that you have that, you subtract Q3 and Q1.
91-74=17

17 is your IQR.
