A rectangle has length 4 inches and width 2 inches. If the length and width of the rectangle are each reduced by 50 percent, by what percent will the area of the rectangle be reduced?

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rectangle has length 4 inches and width 2 inches.

Area = Length x width

= 4 inches x  2 inches

= 8 square inches

If length is reduced by 50% , then length

If width is reduced by 50% , then length

Reduced area = (reduced length) x (reduced width)

= 2 inches x 1 inch

= 2 square inches

The percentage of the area of the rectangle be reduced :-

Hence, the percent of the area of the rectangle be reduced = 25%

*i think

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
