.8
All percents are out of 100, so to figure out the answer you must make the denominator, or bottom number in your fraction, 100.
To get to 100, you would multiply 5x20, because that equals 100. Because you multiplied the denominator, which is 5, you must multiply the top number by 20 as well.
4x20 = 80
So therefore, the answer is 80/100, so .8
Using proportions, it is found that the same job will take Mrs. Squirrel 6 hours.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
The times are given as follows:
- Mr. Pigeon: 30 minutes = Half an hour = 1/48 day.
The ratios are as follows:
Turtle/Squirrel = Squirrel/Pigeon.
Hence:




x = 1/4.
It takes 1/4 of a day for Mrs. Squirrel to do the job, hence 1/4 x 24 hours = 6 hours.
