Question

the elves were working when the head elf came in and there was only 2 weeks left until christmas. what percentage of the month was left before christmas?

Answer 1

Answer:

45 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Time left until Christmas = 2 weeks

                                         = 2 * 7 days                [since 1 week = 7 days]

                                         = 14 days

Number of days in December = 31

Percentage of the month left before Christmas = $\frac{Time left until Christmas}{Number of days in December} * 100$

= $\frac{14}{31} * 100$

= 0.45 * 100

= 45 %
