Answer:

percentages are used like fractions and decimals, as ways to describe parts of a whole. For example, discounts in shops, bank interest rates, rates of inflation and many statistics in the media are expressed as percentages. Percentages are important for understanding the financial aspects of everyday life. When you are using percentages, the whole is considered to be made up of a hundred equal parts. The symbol % is used to show that a number is a percentage, and less commonly the abbreviation 'pct' may be used.

Is 2/3 equal to 2/4 because the numerator are equal

Masja [62]

No. For fractions to be equal, both the numerators and denominators have to be proportional.

Since both denominators are 2, the denominators would have to be just 3 or just 4.

Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in a half an hour.If she keeps picking strawberries at the same rate, how many gallon

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

3 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in a half an hour.

Let us convert our given time in minutes.

1 hour= 60 minutes.

1/2 hour= 30 minutes.

So 2 hours= 120 minutes.

Let us find the number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes by dividing 3/4 by 30.

$\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{30}$

$\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=\frac{3}{4*30}$

$\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=\frac{1}{40}$

Now let us multiply 1/40 by 120 to find the number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 120 minutes(2 hours).

$\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=120*\frac{1}{40}$

$\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=3$

Therefore, Jen picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.
