1 answer:

7 0

<span>Carol noticed that 7/10 of the children playing soccer were girls. Which statement could be correct?
A. There were 28 girls and 12 boys playing soccer.
28 : x% = 40 (the total number of children) : 100%
40x = 28 * 100
40x = 2800
x = 2800 / 40
x = 70%
There were 70% of girls in the class.
70 / 100 = 0.7
7/ 10 = 0.7
This is why A is the correct answer.

Tony has 7/8 of a candy bar. he wants to split the bar into servings that are 3/10 of the bar. how many servings can he make?

erica [24]

Alright, so let's make both 7/8 and 3/10 into fractions with the same denominator.
The lowest common denominator for both of these is 80.
So, we multiply the top and bottom of 7/8 by 10, and the top and bottom of 3/10 by 8 to get fractions we can compare.
So, we have 70/80 of a candy bar, and we want to make servings of 24/80 each.
How many times can 24 go into 70? 2 times, with a remainder of 22.
So, Tony can make 2 servings.
