Question

Of all the visitors to a museum on Saturday, 18% were kids younger than 11 years old. In lowest terms, write the fraction of visitors to the museum who were younger than 11 years old.

Answer 1

Answer:  9/50

Explanation:

Any percentage converts to that number over 100.

So 18% would convert to 18/100

We then reduce the fraction by dividing each part by the GCF 2

18/2 = 9

100/2 = 50

The fraction 18/100 fully reduces to 9/50
