Question

4 Celeste uses 24 inches of ribbon from a spool that holds 36 inches of ribbon. Which shows equivalent representations for the part of the spool that Celeste uses? A) 1/3, 33 1/3%, 0.3B) 2/3, 60%, 0.6C) 0.6, 2/3, 66 2/3%D) 30%, 0.3, 1/3

Answer 1

We are given that 24 out of 36 inches of ribbon is used. The percentage that is used is equivalent to:

$\frac{24}{36}=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, the percentage is:

$\frac{2}{3}\times100=0.66\times100=66\text{ percent}$
