Answer 2

Answer: Percent of change is 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\frac{5}{4}\ to\ \frac{3}{8}$

We need to find the percent of change.

So, First we find the difference between them:

$\frac{5}{4}-\frac{3}{8}\\\\=\frac{10-3}{8}\\\\=\frac{7}{8}$

So, We know the formula for "Percent of change":

$\frac{Difference}{Original}\times 100\\\\=\frac{\frac{7}{8}}{\frac{5}{4}}\times 100\\\\=\frac{7\times 4}{8\times 5}\times 100\\\\=70\%$

Hence, Percent of change is 70%.
