Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find a percentage, you divide the part out of the whole (numerator out of the denominator in a fraction);

4 ÷ 8 = 0.5

Once you have your decimal number, you need to move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left to turn it into a percentage;

0.5 = 50

Therefore, the percent decrease is 50%.

<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>When multiplying two roots together, you can rearrange the equation so that the roots are next to each other and so are the whole numbers:</h3>

2 x 3 x $\sqrt{3}$ x $\sqrt{12}$

<h3>This means that 2 x 3 is simple, = 6,</h3><h3>But when multiplying $\sqrt{3} x \sqrt{12}$ you simply multply the two numbers and put them in a square root:</h3>

$\sqrt{3} x \sqrt{12}$ = $\sqrt{36}$
