Answer 1

Gabrielle took a Spanish test with 50 questions. She answered 50 questions but only answered 44 of them correctly. What percent of the questions did Gabrielle answer correctly?

The fraction $\frac{44}{50}$ represents the 44 questions that Gabrielle got correct out of the 50 questions she answered altogether.

To find out what percent of questions Gabrielle answered correctly, we can turn $\frac{44}{50}$ into a percent.

We can first reduce the fraction $\frac{44}{50}$ by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 44 and 50 using 2.

44 ÷ 2 = 22

50 ÷ 2 = 25

22 ÷ 25 = 0.88

0.88 × 100 = 88%

Therefore, Gabrielle answered 88% percent of the questions correct on her Spanish test.

Answer 2

She answered 88% correct. 44 times 2 is 88.
