It is 1.5 times because $63 divided by $42 is $1.5.
I hope this is what you meant.
<span>Number line refers to a mathematical process of
solving the equation with the use of lines.
=> 235 + 123
Starting from 0 you count 1 up to 235. Then starting from 235 you additionally
count another 123.
Then from zero start counting the total number to the line you stopped when
adding 123 to 235.
This simply equals to
=> 235 + 123
=> 358.
Pls. see attached image for illustration of number line.</span>Answer here
A quadratic equation has either two different real roots, one real root, or two conjugate complex roots (this is the case when the discriminant is negative, i.e. when you have no real roots).
Two conjugate complex roots have the same real part and opposite imaginary parts. So, the solutions to Amina's equation will be in this form:

For some 
Change in snow = 2 - 1.6 = 0.4 ft
-> percent change = 0.4/2 * 100% = 0.2 * 100% = 20%
