An architect planned to construct two similar stone pyramid structures in a park. The figure below shows the front view of the p
yramids in her plan, but there is an error in the dimensions:
Which of the following changes should she make to the length of side CB to correct her error?
Change the length of side CB to 13 feet
Change the length of side CB to 11 feet
Change the length of side CB to 8 feet
Change the length of side CB to 8.5 feet

Since these questions all require similar methods of solving, I will only completely work out the first question of each type.
2. To find
as a decimal, all we need to do is complete the fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
= 7 / 10 = 0.7
as a decimal is 0.7.
3. To write a fraction as a percentage, we must first convert it into a decimal, the way we did in problem 2.
Then to change that number into a percentage, we can either multiply it by 100, or (my personal shortcut) just shift the decimal point over two places to the right.
0.65 = 65%
which is the answer to question 3.
written as a percent is 65%.
4. Writing a percentage as a fraction is a bit easier than writing a fraction as a percentage. All you need to do is place the percentage in the numerator's place of a fraction with 100 as the denominator and simplify.
2%5 =
Since 25 goes into 100 four times, we can simplify this fraction.
which is our answer.
25% written as a fraction is
.
5. This is the same as problem 3, so I won't show my work for the sake of time.
as a percentage is 40%.
6. This is the same as problem 1, so I will not show steps again.
as a decimal is 0.15.
7. Done similar problems in past. No work shown.
as a percent is 42%.
8. Same as last problem.
as a percent is 4%.
9. Same as number 4.
6% as a fraction is
.
10. Similar in past.
as a percentage is 60%.
11. Same as 6.
as a decimal is 0.48.
12. Done a lot of these so far.
as a percentage is 30%.
13. Just did one like this.
as a percentage is 75%.
14. Same as 4 and 9.
65% as a fraction is.
15. Plenty of these done in past.
as a percentage is 20%.
16. Last problem, and it's just like the one just before this.
written as a percent is 90%.
So there are the results.
Hope that helped! =)
