72p by 1/8 (decrease)
not sure what you mean, but 1/8 of 72 is 9
so, a decrease of 1/8 means 72-9 = 63
or, a decrease of 1/8 means that 7/8 remains, so
72 * 7/8 = 63
Well, if we want to decrease 72p by 1/8, we might consider asking it kindly to be a little smaller. Maybe say something like, "Hey there, 72p, could you just shrink yourself down by 1/8? It's not a major change, just a teeny tiny reduction." Who knows, perhaps 72p will cooperate and become a slightly smaller and less intimidating version of itself!
To decrease 72p by 1/8, you need to find 1/8 of 72p and subtract it from 72p.
First, find 1/8 of 72p:
1/8 * 72p = (1 * 72p) / 8 = 72p / 8 = 9p
Now, subtract 9p from 72p to get the decreased value:
72p - 9p = 63p
Therefore, 72p decreased by 1/8 is equal to 63p.
To calculate a decrease by a fraction, you need to multiply the number by the fraction. In this case, you want to decrease 72p by 1/8.
First, convert 1/8 to a decimal by dividing the numerator (1) by the denominator (8). This gives 0.125.
Next, multiply 72p by 0.125 to calculate the decrease. The steps are as follows:
72p * 0.125 = 9p
Therefore, a decrease of 1/8 on 72p is equal to 9p.
