Question

At the World Cup, 25% of the teams are from South American countries. If there are 40 teams in the World Cup, how many are from South American countries? Construct a double number line if needed.

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

100% = 40 teams

1% = 40 ÷ 100 = 0.40

25% = 0.40 x 25 = 10

Answer 2

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

100%/4=25%

40/4=10

You have to divide 100% by 4 because 25 goes into 100 four times.

What ever you do on the bottom or top you to do it top or bottom.

So 40 divide by 4 is 10.

Then you have you answer.
