There is 75% decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Old value = 688 qt

New value = 172 qt

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 172 - 688

Change = -516 qt

The negative sign indicates decrease.

Decrease percent = $\frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{516}{688}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{51600}{688}$

Decrease percent = 75%

There is 75% decrease.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

given 1 /( 3 + √2 )

then rationalise the denominator by multiplying the numerator/ denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

the conjugate of 3 + √2 is 3 - √2

1 / (3 + √2 ) × (3 - √2 ) / (3 - √2 )

= (3 - √2 ) /( 9 - 2 ) = (3 - √2 ) / 7
