Question

Ryo accidentally ordered 240% as many eggs as his restaurant needed. What fraction of the number of eggs his restaurant needs did ryo order?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ryo ordered $\frac{12}{5}$ of the amount of eggs his restaurant needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call z the number of eggs the restaurant needs

Ryo ordered 240% of the eggs he needed. Then Ryo ordered:

$\frac{240}{100}$z.

This fraction can be simplified by dividing by 10 in the numerator and denominator.

Then it is:

$\frac{24}{10}$

It can be further simplified by dividing by 2 in the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{12}{5}$z

Ryo ordered $\frac{12}{5}$ of the amount of eggs his restaurant needed
