What is the percent increase of 36 ft. and 3 in. to 37 ft. and 6 in.
I think it is 2.7% increase pls answer today
increase = 1 ft 3 in = 15 in
starting value = 36*12 + 3 = 435 in
Now recall that %change = (actual change)/(starting value)

To calculate the percent increase between 36 ft. and 3 in. and 37 ft. and 6 in., follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert both measurements to a common unit. In this case, let's convert everything to inches.
36 ft. and 3 in. = (36 * 12) + 3 = 435 inches.
37 ft. and 6 in. = (37 * 12) + 6 = 450 inches.
Step 2: Find the difference between the new and original measurements.
450 inches - 435 inches = 15 inches.
Step 3: Calculate the percent increase.
Percent increase = (difference / original) * 100.
Percent increase = (15 / 435) * 100 = 3.45%.
Therefore, the correct answer is a 3.45% increase, not 2.7% as you initially thought.
