Answer:

36 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 11 percent of people of the peach have white towels, and 53 percent have blue towels.

With this information, we can find the remaining percentage of people that have red towels.

Recall that the total percentage is always 100 percent.

lets make r for the percentage of people that have red towels.

You can solve it by changing it to fraction, decimal, or just keep it at percent.

I will show you all of the possible ways.

Percent:

11 percent plus 53 percent plus r =100 percent

combine the like terms, or add 11 plus 53 to simplify the equation.

You have 64 percent plus r =100 percent Our goal is to isolate r, so subtract both sides by 64 percent.

100-64 is 36 percent.

r=36 percent of people who have red towels.

With fractions.

Write it as 11/100 plus 53/100 plus r/100= 100/100.

Combine the fractions.

64/100 plus r/100=100/100.

Subtract both sides by 64/100.

You are left with r=36/100, 9/25, or 36 percent.

With decimals.

11 percent as a decimal is 0.11. Just move the decimal spot 2 times. In 11, since you can write it as 11.0, you move it to the right twice.

53 percent is 0.53.

r is r.

100 percent is 1.

0.11 plus 0.53 plus r=100

Combine or add 0.53 and 0.11. That is 0.64.

Subtract both sides by 0.64.

You get r to be 0.36 or 36 percent.

I hope this helps, and I hope you have a good day!

Which is bigger, 7/8" or 9/16"?
Iteru [2.4K]
7/8 and 9/16

7*2/8*2 = 14/16

14/16 and 9/16

Now since we have a common denominator, we can compare the numerators.

14/16 is greater, so 7/8 is greater than 9/16

Answer: 7/8 is bigger

Explain why 3/4 of 16 is the same as 3 x 16 divided by 4<br> Please Help
pogonyaev

Answer:

<em>I know that 3/4 is 75%, and I also know that 3 times 16 is 48. Since I divide 48 by 4, it is the same as multiplying 4 by 3, knowing that it is 25% of 16.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3/4 is a fraction, all fractions can be converted into decimals.

3/4 is also known as 75%, which can be simplified into 0.75 in decimal terms.

Now that you know that 3/4 can be simplified to 0.75, you now need to take that 0.75, and multiply it by 16. You can use a calculator to do this, or you could work it out on a sheet of paper.

An easy way to do this, is to know that 25%, (0.25) of 16 is 4. This is because 4 times 4 is 16. Knowing this, if you are looking for 75% of 16, (0.75) you can multiply 4 by 3, knowing that it is 75% of 16.

The answer to that is 12.

3 x 16 = 48 and if you take 48 and divide it by 4, you will get 12.

You can explain this by writing; <em>I know that 3/4 is 75%, and I also know that 3 times 16 is 48. Since I divide 48 by 4, it is the same as multiplying 4 by 3, knowing that it is 25% of 16.</em>
