Question

ASAP. Can someone help me find the percentage of these please, I can't figure it out. (Pic below)

Answer 1

Answer:

Interphase: 55.56%

Prophase: 27.78%

Metaphase: 8.33%

Anaphase: 5.56%

Telophase: 2.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is follow the instructions. To get the percentage, all you need to do is divide the part by the whole then multiply it by 100%.

$\dfrac{Part}{Whole}\times 100\%$

Now let's take your problem:

Number of cells in interphase:

20 this is the part and the whole would be the total cells, which is 36. Now we insert that into our equation:

$\dfrac{20}{36}\times 100\%=0.5556\times100\%=55.56\%$

So now we apply the same to the rest:

Prophase:

$\dfrac{10}{36}\times 100\%=0.2778\times100\%=27.78\%$

Metaphase:

$\dfrac{3}{36}\times 100\%=0.0833\times100\%=8.33\%$

Anaphase:

$\dfrac{2}{36}\times 100\%=0.0556\times100\%=5.56\%$

Telophase:

$\dfrac{1}{36}\times 100\%=0.0278\times100\%=2.78\%$
