Divide the amount of teenagers that smoked by the total population:

Multiply this decimal by 100 to convert into a percentage:

To round to the nearest decimal place, look at the hundredths value:
8.5
3
3 > 5
8.53 -> 8.5
8.5% of teenagers reported that they smoked at least one cigarette.
It's been such a long time, but I think (1) should be the addition property since your adding 5 to both sides.
And (2) should be the multiplication property due to multiplying both sides by 2.
you are going to need to find the common name of common denominator 4/1 over 4 plus 1 over 6 equal to look for the commentator of 15 and 6 what goes into 15 and 6 is going to 15 and 6 the common denominator will be actually 12 to 6 only go into 15 2 times cuz I can't get close to 15 than q2 so you have to common denominator now this is going to be both 1/12 + 1/12 is going to be either 2/24 or 2/12
The correct scale factor is 3 :)
