Answer:

There was a increase of 1.7% over these three​ years

Step-by-step explanation:

Multipliers:

For a decrease of a%, we multiply by: \frac{100-a}{100}

For a increase of a%, we multiply by: \frac{100+a}{100}

What was the percentage​ increase/decrease of groundhogs over these three​ years?

Decrease of 12%(multiplication by 0.88).

Increase of 6%(multiplication by 1.06).

Increase of 9%(multiplication by 1.09).

After these three years:

0.88*1.06*1.09 = 1.017

1.017 - 1 = 0.017

0.017*100% = 1.7%

There was a increase of 1.7% over these three​ years

Multiplying and Dividing by Powers of 10 When multiplying a number by 10, move the decimal to the right. When multiplying a numb
just olya [345]

Answer:

Because we actually divide by 10 when a number is multiplied by 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be a number.

When we multiply a number by 10:

a \times 10 = 10 a (One '0' is increased in the number)

For example:

23 \times 10 = 230

Considering a decimal number:

2.3 \times 10 = 23

Multiplying a number with 0.1 (which is actually \frac{1}{10}) means dividing the number by 10.

23\times 0.1 =23\times \frac{1}{10}=2.3

Considering a decimal number:

2.3 \times 0.1 = 2.3 \times \frac{1}{10} = 0.23

<em>Therefore, When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left.</em>
