Answer:

a: The percentage change from 1/3 to 2/3 is 100 %

b: The percentage change from 1/3 to 1/6 is 0 %

Explanation:

use this formula:

((y2 - y1) / y1)*100 = your percentage change

(where y1=start value and y2=end value)

((2/3 - 1/3) / 1/3) * 100 = 100 %

((y2 - y1) / y1)*100 = your percentage change

(where y1=start value and y2=end value)

((1/6 - 1/3) / 1/3) * 100 = 0 %
