Express 8 1/5% as a mixed number or a fraction

Mathematics

Answer:

41/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we change the 8 and 1/5% to 8.2%

Write the fraction down as a number over one = 8.2/1

Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 1 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10. So,

8.2/1 = (8.2 × 10)

(1 × 10) = 82/10

Reduce the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD (82,10) = 2. So, (82÷2)/(10÷2) = 41/5 when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 82/10 is also equal to 81/5 when expressed as a mixed number.

Rob is saving to buy a new MP3 player. For every $11 he earns babysitting, he saves $6. On Saturday, Rob earned $44 babysitting.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Rob saved $24 on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rob is saving to buy a new MP3 player.

Money earned in baby sitting = $11

Money saved =$6

First we will find the Percentage of amount he saved.

Percentage of amount he saved can calculated by Amount saved divided by total money earned and then multiplying by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Percentage of amount he saved = \frac{6}{11} \times 100 \approx 54.55\%

Now Given:

Money earned in babysitting on Saturday = $44

We need to find the Money he saved on Saturday.

Money Saved can be calculated by Percentage of amount he saved multiplying by Money earned in babysitting on Saturday and then divided by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Money Saved on Saturday = \frac{54.55}{100}\times 44 = \$24

Hence Rob saved $24 on Saturday.
