Answer 1

A pumpkin pie was cut into 8 pieces. Your family ate 5 of them. What percent of the pie did your family eat? (round to the ones place)​

In this problem

8 pieces represent the 100% (complete pie)

so

Applying proportion

Find out how much percentage represent 5 pieces

100%/8=x/5

solve for x

x=5*(100/8)

x=62.5%

Round to the ones place

therefore

the answer is 63%
