Question

A is what percent of B?

Answer 1

Answer:

%33.33

Step-by-step explanation:

start by converting the 1.5 lbs into oz. 16 oz go into one pound.

since .5 is equivalent to one half, divide 16 in two to get 8 and then add 8 to 16.

You should get that 1.5 lbs = 24 oz

now divide 24 by 8

24/8 = 3

this shows that 8 goes into 24 three times. If three eights go into 24, then three ones go into 3. You can use this information to make a simplified fraction which is easy to convert over to a percent.

1/3

an last but not least, convert it to a percent

1/3 = %33.33

i hope this helped! i'm bad at explaining things so sorry if it's hard to understand lol
