Question

At Richardson Elementary, 35/100 of the buses were late because of a snowstorm. Write the fraction, the decimal, and the word form of the buses that were not late.

Answer 1

65/100 were not late , 0.65, 65 percent of the busses were not late

Answer 2

35/100 were late....this is saying that 35 out of 100 buses were late.
this means that (100 - 35) = 65 out of 100 were on time

65/100 which reduces to 13/20 = 0.65
the word form ? sixty-five out of 100 buses were on time
