Question

What is equivalent to 9 out of 25

Answer 1

Answer:

  9/25 = 36/100 = 36% . . . . "out of" meaning "parts of"

  25 - 9 = 16 . . . . "out of" meaning "from"

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording "out of" can be taken a couple of ways in this usage. Context is important, and no context is provided here.

__

Often, it means "parts of" as in 9 of 25 parts, or 9/25.

An equivalent fraction is 18/50 or 36/100 = 0.36 = 36%.

This would be the usual meaning in the context of probability.

__

This wording can also mean 9 parts taken from 25, so the remaining amount is 16. Equivalents might be 10 from 26, or 4 from 20.
