So,
I like to simplify a fraction first. This is what I do when I'm in a store trying to find the unit price.

Factor.

Cross out ones.

Multiply it out.

In my head, I remember that one-eighth is equal to 0.125.
So seven-eighths is equal to 0.125 times 7.
0.125 * 7 = 0.875
Convert to percent form.
0.875 --> 87.5%
James answered 87.5% of his quiz correctly.
I actually have the decimal equivalents for eighths in my head when I'm shopping. So once I get seven-eighths, I immediately know how much that is. I can also subtract 0.125 from 1.000 to get seven-eighths.
Answer is c.
t = 0.5(d+h)
multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 0.5.
2t = d+h
2t - d = h
I redrew the triangle (just turned it around it make it easier to understand).
Answer:
Women: 448 Men: 560 Children: 1232
Step-by-step explanation:
5+4+11 = 20/2240 = 112
Women = 4 x 112 = 448
Men = 5 x 112 = 560
Children = 11 x 112 = 1232
Total = 1232 + 560 +448 = 2240
