<h3>Answer:  0.9999</h3>

Explanation:

Having a 1% increase means we go from 100% to 100%+1% = 101% which converts to the decimal form 1.01; note how you move the decimal point two spots to the left to go from 101% to 1.01

A 1% decrease means we go from 100% to 100%-1% = 99% = 0.99

Multiplying 1.01 and 0.99 leads to 1.01*0.99 = 0.9999

Since 0.9999 = 99.99%, this means we have a 100% - 99.99% = 0.01% decrease overall.

Note: the order of the decrease and increase doesn't matter. You could do the decrease first, then the increase, or vice versa.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1. The elephant should be given _ fl oz.

2. Every term in Pattern B is 1/4 the corresponding term in Pattern A.

3. 0.9 < 1.1

4. There are 7 tons in 14,000 pounds.

5. There are 17900 Milligrams in 17.9 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. One ton is 2,000 pounds. So you would have to multiply 5.5 x 2,000.

5.5 x 2,000 = 11,000

Then you have to divide 11,000 by 250.

11,000/250 = 44

2. Every term in Pattern B is 4 times less than the term in Pattern A.

3. 0.9 is smaller than 1.1.

4. One ton is 2,000 pounds. 14,000/2,000 is 7 so this would mean that 14,000 pounds is 7 tons.

5. One gram is 1,000 milligrams, so you would have to multiply 17.9 by 1,000. This gives you 17900.
