Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Herky found that 8 out of every 100 beans in his garden were nibbled by rabbits.

To Find: how many beans can he expect to be damaged if there are 450 beans in his garden?

Solution:

We are given that 8 out of every 100 beans in his garden were nibbled by rabbits.

Let no. of beans nibbled if there are 450 beans.

So. A.T.Q

$\frac{8}{100} =\frac{x}{450}$

$\frac{8}{100} \times 450=x$

$36=x$

Thus 36 beans are damaged.

Hence 36 beans out of 450 are damaged.

Answer 2

36 beans
450/100 = 4.5
4.5 x 8 = 36
