Answer:
-7.25
Explanation:
Given,
The stock is dropping at the rate of $1.45 each hour,
So, the change in price of the stock in one hour = - $1.45,
Thus, the total change of the stock in 5 hours
= 5 × change in 1 hour
= 5 × 1.45
= -$ 7.25
∵ A terminating decimal number is always a rational number ( however it is negative )
i.e. the rational number that represents the change in the price per share after 5 hours is -7.25.
