In athletic competition, the record jump in the pole vault was 6 Meters. An athlete set a
new record jump of 8-meters. What percentage of the old record is the difference between
the two records? Correct your answer to 2 decimal places.
Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The record jump in the pole vault was 6 meters. The new record set by the athlete is 8 meters. The difference between the two records(old and new) would be new record - old record. It becomes

8 - 6 = 2 meters

Therefore, the percentage of the old record that is the difference between

the two records would be

Difference/old record × 100

It becomes

2/6 × 100 = 33.33% rounded up to 2 decimal places

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question, given that;

Old record = 6 meters

New record = 8 meters

The difference between the two records = New record - Old record

                                                                    = 8 - 6

                                                                    = 2 meters

The percentage of old record that is the difference between the two records = × 100%

                                     = × 100%

                                    = 33.3333%

The percentage of old record that is the difference between the two records is 33.33%.

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
