Answer 1

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

here is a fast way:

1- 75% = 75/100 = 3/4

2- 600 × (3/4) = 450

Answer 2

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Convert 75% to fraction

$\frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$

$=\frac{3}{4}\times \:600$

Step 2: Convert 600 to a fraction

$600=\frac{600}{1}$

Step 3: Set it up

$=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{600}{1}$

Step 4: Cross Divide

$600 \div 4 = 150\\3 \div 1 = 3$

Step 5: Multiply the results

$150 \times 3 = 450$

Therefore, the machine produced 450 parts yesterday
