my question is

Identify the percent of change as increase or a decrease. Then find the percent of change. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary. 1/3 to 2/3. How do I figure it out? I put 33% decrease

2/3 = 1/3 + 1/3

so, it has doubled, making a 100% increase.

a 33.3% decrease would mean subtracting 1/3 of the original 1/3, or 1/9

so, 1/3 to 2/9 is a 33.3% decrease

thank you so much for your guidance

To solve this problem, you need to understand the concept of percent change and how to calculate it.

Percent change is used to determine the increase or decrease between two values. It is calculated as follows:

Percent change = ((new value - old value) / old value) * 100

Let's apply this formula to find the percent of change between 1/3 and 2/3.

Old value: 1/3
New value: 2/3

To find if it is an increase or a decrease, we need to compare the new value (2/3) with the old value (1/3).

2/3 is bigger than 1/3, so it is an increase.

Now, let's plug these values into the percent change formula:

Percent change = ((2/3 - 1/3) / (1/3)) * 100

Simplifying this equation:

Percent change = (1/3 / 1/3) * 100
Percent change = 1 * 100

Therefore, the percent of change from 1/3 to 2/3 is 100%. It is an increase of 100%.
