Answer:
"The percentage change of a ratio of two variables is approximately the percentage change in the numerator <u>minus</u> the percentage change in the denominator."
Step-by-step explanation:
The percent change in a number is determined by dividing the difference between the new number and original number by the original number and multiplying the result by 100.
Suppose the original ratio of two numbers is: 
.
And the new ratio is: 
The percent change is:
Thus, the complete statement is:
"The percentage change of a ratio of two variables is approximately the percentage change in the numerator <u>minus</u> the percentage change in the denominator."
Now if we have 7.5 pounds of apples first we need to convert 1 pound into ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
Now we know how many ounces are in one pound. So lets take the 16 ounces for 1 pound and multiply by the 7 full pounds of apples. This excluding the 1/2 pound of apples.
7 x 16 = 112
(7 being the weight in pounds of the apples, 16 being 16 ounces in one pound, and 112 is how any ounces are in 7 pounds of apples.)
So now we have the amount of ounces in 7 pounds of apples.
But we are not done. We still have the 1/2 pound of apples. So we take 16 being 1 pound of apples and divide it by 2.
16 divided by 2 = 8
That 1/2 pound of apples = 8 ounces.
So now we have our 7 pounds of apples in ounces (112) and our 1/2 pound of apples in ounces (8)
So we add these back up in ounces
112 + 8 = 120.
So now we can conclude:
7.5 pounds of apples is 120 ounces
Hope this helps!

Answer:
C. AB = 5.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In trapezoid ABCD, EF is the Midsegment.
.:. EF = {(AB+CD)
.:: 9.2 = {(AB + 12.6)
:: 9.2 x 2 = AB + 12.6
.. 18.4 = AB + 12.6
.. 18.4-12.6 = AB
:: AB = 5.8 cm
