3 3/4 + 1 1/4 + 2 2/4
3/4 + 1/4 + 2/4 = 1 1/2
3 + 1 + 2 + 1 1/2 = 7 1/2 cups total
So, let's look at the problem once again.
8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.
Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.
We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.
92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)
24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276
276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.
276 plus 24 = 300.
Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.
The correct answer is B. 2.3.
For us to know the equivalent decimals of a fraction, you have to use the numerator as the dividend, and the denominator will be your divisor.
The equation will be:
2 + ( 1 / 3 )
2 + (0.33333333)
= 2.333333
If you'll have it rounded off, you'll get the answer 2.3.
It has a constant daily growth rate of 1.5
