Donavan Flowers · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change = (1/4-1/8) / 1/4 * 100%

= { (2 - 1) / 8} : 1/4 * 100%

= (1/8 : 1/4) * 100%

= 1/8 * 4/1 * 100%

=1/2 * 100%

= 50%

It is 50% change

Evangeline Lin · Answer 2

I believe the answer is 50%.

1/4 x 1/2 = 0.125

125/1000

125/1000 <- - divide numerator and denominator by 125

the above fraction simplifies to 1/8

So, one 1/4 is double the value of one 1/8
