Question

When students at Luray Middle School were surveyed, 22% said they would like hamburgers at lunch rather than hotdogs. What is that percent rounded to the nearest compatible fraction?

Answer 1

22/100=> 11/50 would be the answer

Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{11}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : When students at Luray Middle School were surveyed, 22% said they would like hamburgers at lunch rather than hotdogs.

We know that to convert a percent into a fraction , we need to divide the percent by 100 , we get

$22\%=\dfrac{22}{100}$

Which can be written as :$\dfrac{2\times11}{2\times50}$

Cancel out 2 from the numerator and the denominator , we get

$\dfrac{11}{50}$

Hence, 22% rounded to the nearest compatible fraction $\dfrac{11}{50}$
