Question

Question 2.Draw diagrams to represent the following situations.a. The amount of flour that the bakery used this month was a 50% increase relative to last month.b. The amount of milk that the bakery used this month was a 75% decrease relative to last month.

Answer 1

Given:

a. The amount of flour that the bakery used this month was a 50% increase relative to last month.

So, we will draw a diagram that represents the situation

As shown, for last month, we have drawn a rectangle divided into two equal areas, each one represents 50%

this month was a 50% increase, so, we have drawn 3 areas which represent 50% increase

b. The amount of milk that the bakery used this month was a 75% decrease relative to last month.

As shown, for last month, we have drawn a rectangle with four equal areas

75% decrease, so, we have to remove 3 areas to make the remaining = 25%

So, the difference will give a 75% decrease
