Abdullah and Kanna are working on the same problem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leona [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Abdullah is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.

The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.

120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz

Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.

Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.

Abdullah is correct.

In a random sample of 40 teenagers, 18 enjoy reading for fun, and in a random sample of 40 adults, 12 enjoy reading for fun. Do
Savatey [412]

Answer: Yes. The data provides convincing evidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a random sample of 40 teenagers, 18 enjoy reading for fun. The percentage of teenagers who enjoy reading for fun will be:

= 18/40 × 100

= 45%

In a random sample of 40 adults, 12 enjoy reading for fun. The percentage of adults who enjoy will be:

= 12/40 × 100

= 30%

Therefore, the proportion of adults who enjoy reading for fun is less than that of teenagers. Therefore, the data provides convincing evidence.
