In June a runner ran a mile in 7:45. In September the runner ran a mile in 5:51 what is the percent of change

Verified Answer :

Answer:

the percent of change is \(32.48\%\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Convert the time in seconds

\(7:45=7*60+45=465\ sec\)

\(5:51=5*60+51=351\ sec\)

we know that

\(351\ sec\) ----> represent the \(100\%\)

Step 2

the change of the time is equal to

\(465\ sec-351\ sec=114\ sec\)

Step 3

by proportion

find the percent of change

\(\frac{100}{351}=\frac{x}{114} \\ \\x=114*100/351\\ \\x=32.48\%\)
