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%

Sixty-three people participated in a study to see if they were left-brain dominant or right-brain dominant. In the study, the pe
Cloud [144]
The two-way table is attached.

We know that 63 people took the survey, and 22 of them were left-handed.  This means that 63-22=41 of them are right handed.

Out of the 63 total, 37 are left brain dominant; this means that 63-37=26 are right brain dominant.

Of the 26 that are right brain dominant, 21 are right handed; this means 26-21=5 are left handed.

Of the 22 left-handed people, 5 are right brain dominant; this means 22-5 = 17 are left brain dominant.

Of the 37 left brain dominant people, 17 are left handed; this means 37-17=20 are right handed.
