Answer:
Part A
16 and 1/2 or 16 R6, 17 if you round up
Part B
Answer choices A and D are correct
(12 - 9) / 12 = (40 - x) / 40
3/12 = (40 - x) / 40
40(1/4) = 40 - x
10 = 40 - x
10 - 40 = -x
-30 = -x
30 = x <=== percent decrease from 40 to 30
-3 > -7
u have to remember, with negatives, the larger number is smaller in value.
when u plot these numbers on the number line, the number that is farthest to the left is less then...the number that is farthest to the right is greater then.
-3 is warmer because it is closer to zero then -7.
