Answers:

a) 0.705479 oz

b) Over 1/2 oz Class B felony

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's make the conversion from grams to ounces, knowing $1g=0.035274 oz$ :

$20g \frac{0.035274 oz}{1 g}=0.705479 oz$

On the other hand, New York State uses the measures given in the table below to charge a suspect:

<u>Amount</u> <u> Charge </u>

Over 1/8 oz. Class C felony

Over 1/2 oz. Class B felony

Over 2 oz. Class A-II felony

Over 4 oz. Class A-I felony

According to this table, the suspect has over 1/2 oz and the charge is Class B felony.

Rename 2/5 as a percent_______________________

It can be helpful to remember that "%" is just a shorthand way to write "/100" (divided by 100, or per 100, or per cent). ("Cent" is often used to refer to 100 or 1/100. A "cent" is 1/100 of a dollar, or 1/100 of an acre, for example. A <em>cent</em>ury is 100 years.)

Make the denominator of your fraction be 100. Multiply numerator and denominator by 20/20.

(2/5)×(20/20) = 40/100 = 40%

You can also get there via decimals.

... 2/5 = 0.4 = 0.40 (40 hundredths) = 40/100 (40 hundredths) = 40%

Or, you can multiply by 100%.

... (2/5)×(100%) = (200/5)% = 40%
