Question

1. increase 140 miles by 8%

Explanation:

Step1: Find 8% of 140

To find 8% of 140, we convert the percentage to a decimal (8% = 0.08) and multiply by 140. So, \( 0.08 \times 140 = 11.2 \).

Step2: Add the increase to 140

Now, we add the increase (11.2) to the original amount (140). So, \( 140 + 11.2 = 151.2 \).

Answer:

151.2 miles
