The <em>correct answer</em> is:

0.4 of the job.

Explanation:

Since Katherine can complete the job (100%, or 1) in 10 hours, she can complete 1/10 of it in 1 hour.

Both women together can complete the job in 2 hours. This means Katherine's rate multiplied by 2 hours, 0.1(2), added to Marina's rate multiplied by 2 hours, r*2, equal the entire job (100%, or 1 whole):

0.1(2)+r(2) = 1

0.2+2r = 1

Subtract 0.2 from each side:

0.2+2r-0.2 = 1-0.2

2r = 0.8

Divide each side by 2:

2r/2 = 0.8/2

r = 0.4

Marina's rate is 0.4 of the job per hour.

So, Katherine can do 0.1 of the job per hour. (if she needs 10 hours for the job, each hour she can do the whole divided by the time, so 1/10, which is 0.1)

if in two hours she and Marina can be done, then Marina will do 1(the whole job)-2/10 (twice as much as she can do in an hour)=0.8 of the job. So if Marina does 0.8 of the job in two hours, each hour she will do half of it: 0.4 - and this is the correct answer

Convert 12 1/2% into a decimal (It isn't 12.50)<br>Convert 12 1/2% into a fraction (It isn't 25/2)
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

0.125 and 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100 to move 2 decimal places to the left.

12.50% / 100 = 0.125

To convert a percentage into a fraction, rewrite the decimal number you got and put it over 1. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to move 3 decimal places to the right and get your fraction.

\frac{0.125}{1} · \frac{1000}{1000} = 125/1000

Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 125, to get your simplified fraction.

125/125 = 1

1000/125 = 8

125/1000 = 1/8
