Answer:
0.3
30%
Step-by-step explanation:
To write 15/50 as a percent, you have to multiply the fraction by 100
x 100
dividing 100 by 50 gives 2
15 x 2 = 30%
to convert 15/50 to a decimal, first simply the fraction.
Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 5
3/10
the next step is to divide the numerator by the denominator
3/10 = 0.3
Answer: The answer is 135 murders.
Step-by-step explanation: The report tells us that statistically 67.5% of murders are committed using a firearm. It follows therefore that in a sample of 200 randomly selected murders, one would expect that 67.5% of those would be by a firearm. * 200 = 135.
It would certainly be higher that the expected value based on previous data collected but it would not be unusual because one sample may have a higher than "normal" amount of murders by firearm. Statistics aren't going to be exact for every sample.
