Why would 6% as a fraction be 6/100?

1 answer:

3 0

Well, percent (%) means per hundred, and your number is 6. Therefore, you have 6 per hundred, or 6/100. Also, when you have a percent and want to convert it into a fraction, you must divide the percent by 100, so you could just put the six over 100 since the line between the numerator and denominator basically means division.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

24.5 is the answer. It is not rounded.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to work backwards on this problem. 153.86 divided by 3.14 = 49. But 49 is only your diameter, so you have to divide by 2 to get radius. 49/2 = 24.5.
