Answer: 0.78 and 39/50
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
What we know:
- We need to find 78% as a fraction and decimal
How to solve:
The decimal is easy enough, and then the fraction can be found from there. D will represent decimal, p will represent percentage, and F will represent fraction.
<h3>
Process:</h3>
Decimal
Set up equation D = p / 100
Substitute D = 78% / 100
Simplify D = 0.78%
Remove % sign D = 0.78
Fraction
Set up equation F = p / 100
Substitute F = 78% / 100
Remove % sign F = 78 / 100
Simplify if needed F = /2 /2
F = 39 / 50
Solution: 0.78 and 39/50
Check:
Multiply the decimal by 100 to check the decimal
0.78 x 100 = 78; 78%
Divide the fraction to check the fraction
39/50 = 0.78; see above
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Keira = K
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Larry = L
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Gita = G
Total number of apples they picked all together in pounds = 8360
Now from the given question, we know
Number of apples picked up by Kiera = 2L
So
K = 2L
L = K/2
Again Kiera picked up 3 times as many apples as Gita picked.
So,
K = 3G
G = K/3
Now if we add all the apples in pounds picked up by the three of them.
Then
K + L + G = 8360
K + (K/2) + K/3) = 8360
(6K + 3K + 2K)/6 = 8360
11K/6 = 8360
11K = 8360 * 6
11K = 50160
K = 4560
Then
L = K/2
= 4560/2
= 2280
G = K/3
= 4560/3
= 1520
Now we can say that
Kiera picked 4560 pounds of apple
Larry picked 2280 pounds of apple
Gita picked 1520 pounds of apple
You would do 4-2= 2 then 8/2 =4 .. final answer being 4

Answer:
1 and 2/5 yards wastes only 1/15 a yard
Step-by-step explanation:
1 and 1/6 yards would make a waste of 1 and 1/6 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)
1 and 2/10 yards would make a waste of 1 and 1/5 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)
1 and 2/5 yards
Wastes 1/15 a yard.
1 and 1/2 yards
It wastes 1/6 a yard.
2 yards
