A cross country team is made up of 65% male runners. What fraction of the team is male?

1 answer:

5 0

Percentage is the same as a fraction over 100, where the number 100 represents a 'whole'.

Therefore, if 65% are male, it means if there were 100 runners in total, 65 of them would be male, so your fraction would be 65/100.

However, you can simplify this fraction as both 65 and 100 have common factors. So you keep dividing both numbers by its factors until there are no more common factors left. This will leave you with 13/20.

Therefore your final answer is 13/20.

Can I have help on this please

Angles C and D are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. So, if we add 8u-48 to 5u+46, we get 13u-2. We set that equal to 180, so 13u-2=180. Add the two, so 13u=182. Divide the 13, so u=14. To double check, plug in 14 to both expressions. 8(14)-48 and 5(14)+46. 8(14)-48 is 64. 5(14)+46 is 116. If you add 64+116, you get 180, which proves your answer right! So u= 14
