Question

19) Two of the dozen eggs in a carton are cracked. About what percent of the carton is not cracked? (Round to the nearest whole percent) *​

Answer 1

Answer:

$83%$%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that $2/12=1/6$ of the eggs are cracked, so $1-1/6=5/6$ of the eggs are not cracked.

Recall that $1/6=0.1666666666...$. This means that $5/6=1-1/6=1-0.166666666...=0.833333333...$.

Rounding this to the nearest whole percent gives $83%$%.
