Answer 1

Greg's football team played 16 games this season and won 12 of the games. What percent of the of the games did Greg's team win?

The fraction $\frac{12}{16}$ represents the 12 games that Greg's team won out of all the games the team played.

To find out what percent of the games that Greg's team won, we can turn$\frac{12}{16}$ into a percent.

We can first reduce this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 12 and 16 using 4.

Now, we have our reduced fraction which is $\frac{3}{4}$.

3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

0.75 × 100 = 75%

Therefore, Greg's football team won 75% of the games that they played.

Answer 2

You need to divide 12 by 16 to get a decimal that you can turn into a percent. 12 ÷ 16 = .75. You turn that .75 into 75%. Greg's football team won 75% of their games.
