Martha has driven about 2/3 the distance she needs to go to reach her aunt's house. Her brother Jackson is making the same trip
and has covered about 78% of the distance. If both of them left at the same time and have not stopped along the way, which statement is NOT true? A. Martha has a shorter distance left to get to the aunt’s house than Jackson.
B. Martha has driven about 67% of the distance.
C. 78% rounded to the nearest ten percent equals 80%.
D. Jackson has a shorter distance left to get to the aunt’s house than Martha.
The answer is A. Martha has a shorter distance left to get to the aunt’s house than Jackson since 2/3 is .667 or 67%. Therefore this statement is false
If there are 12 boys and 13 girls, there are 25 kids in the class total. This means that 13/25 are girls. In order to know the probability, you must divide 13 by 25, which gets an answer of 0.52, which is equal to 52%.
