Answer:

45%

40 yellow chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Total chips: 9 + 11 = 20

P(Male) = 9/20 × 100 = 45%

60% of 100

60/100 × 100

60 red

100 - 60 = 40 yellow chips

Find the difference and reduce to the lowest terms 12 4/9 - 8 5/6 =
butalik [34]

Answer: 3\frac{11}{18}

<u>Turn 12 4/9 into an Improper Fraction</u>

Multiply 12*9 and get 108. Now add 4 and get 112.

12\frac{4}{9} =\frac{112}{9}

<u>Turn 8 5/6 into an Improper Fraction</u>

Multiply 8*6 and get 48. Now add 5 and get  53.

8\frac{5}{6} =53/6

<u>Find Common Denominator</u>

9: 9,18,27,36,45\\6: 6,12,18,24,30\\\CD=18

Your new problem: \frac{112}{18}-\frac{53}{18}

<u>Subtract</u>

<u></u>\frac{112}{18}-\frac{53}{18}=\frac{65}{18}<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Simplify</u>

<u></u>\frac{65}{18} =3\frac{11}{18}<u></u>
