Answer 1

Answer:

30 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning day of the day the stock market goes down to 60 1/4 points

At the end of the day the stock market increased to 90 1/2 points

Therefore the total change in stock market from beginning of the day to end of the day can be calculated as follows

= 90 1/2 - 60 1/4

= 181/2 - 241/4

= 121/4

= 30 1/4

Hence the total change in stock market is 30 1/4
