Question

Last year 7/16 of all students at a school participated in the science fair. About what percentage of the students participated?

Answer 1

Answer:

43.75% students were participated last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that last year 7/16 of all students at a school participated in the science fair.

Let us suppose the total number of students were x. Then, number of students participated last year is given by

$\frac{7}{16} x$

Hence, the percentage of the students participated last year is given by

$\%=\frac{\frac{7}{16}x }{x} \times 100\\\\\%=\frac{7}{16}\times 100\\\\\%=43.75\%$

Therefore, 43.75% students were participated last year.

Answer 2

7/16*100=43.75% Can be rounded to 44
