Question 1. I am assuming you meant 9/16, and in that case, the answer would be 0.5625. 9-16 is -7.
Question 2. 35.7% in decimal form is relative to what the percent is of. 35.7% of a million is different than 35.7% of one.
Question 3. Once again, this is relative as to what. Percentage of the weight of an elephant? It is important to specify in these types of equations.
Answer:
Same quanitity.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Soup Shack usually makes tomato soup with 9 tomatoes for every 12 bowls of soup.
Today, they made 8 bowls of soup with 6 tomatoes.
We need to compare today's soup to the usual recipe.
For 9 tomatoes for every 12 bowls of soup = 
For 8 bowls of soup with 6 tomatoes = 
It means we can see that both the soup has the same quantity. Hence, this is the required solution.
