Answer 1

Your percent decrease.
Because you ran 5 miles yesterday, and 3.7 miles yesterday,
As 5>3.7 your percentage decreased by 26 %

Hope it helps you

Answer 2

percent decrease

26%

Explanation:

Yesterday you ran 5 miles

Today you ran 3.7 miles

The amount went down, so the percent decreased

The percent decrease = (original - new)/original * 100 %

= (5-3.7)/5 * 100%

= 1.3/5 * 100 %

=.26 *100%

= 26%
