Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the better buy, we must find the cheaper unit price or price per gallon. To find the price per gallon, divide the cost by the number of gallons.

Mary

Mary bought 4 gallons for $11.

The price is $11 and the gallons are 4.

Jill

Jill bought 2.5 gallons for $7.25

The price is $7.25 and the gallons are 2.5

Better buy

Mary paid $2.75 per gallon and Jill paid $2.90 per gallon. 2.75 is less than 2.90, so Mary had the better buy.

Answer:

2/5 = 4/10

4/10 = 40%

Explanation:

2/5 is a simplified fraction, and one of the bigger fractions it’s made by 4/10. Do you can use 4/10, but can also use 8/20, 20/50, 40/100, so on. Since we know that any fraction that of ten can be turned into a percentage easily (2/10=20%, 5/10=50%,9/10=%90), then 4/10 is equal to 40%. So 40% of the people in Jeremiah’s class are boys.
