<h2>
Answer: 2.8 miles</h2>
Step-by-step:
We can write it in the proportion 
where x is our number of miles trying to find
We now cross multiply or use the butterfly method which I will demonstrate both
<h3>Cross Multiply</h3>
We multiply the numerator with the dominator
so 
and 
or 
Now for the
<h3>Butterfly Method </h3>
You would do 7 times 24 divided by 60 or 
Then
simplify
so 2.8 miles in either method
1 ft equals 12 in. So 2ft equals 24 in. 24 in plus 5 in equals 29 in, and 29 in plus 9 in equals 38 in. 38/12 equals 3 ft 2 in.

I think that’s the right answer
% change = (new value - old value)/(old value) * 100%
.. = (9.67 -9.74)/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.07/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.7%
The decrease is 0.7%.
The clear answer according to me would be
5a-8<24
