Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in her homeroom. She randomly selects two students. The total number of students is 25.
The probability of choosing one girl is:
15 / 25 = 3 / 5
Now, 24 students are left.
The probability of choosing one boy is:
10 / 24 = 5 / 12
Therefore, the probability of choosing one girl and one boy is:
3 / 5 * 5 / 12
= 3 / 12
= 1/4
Conner played a total of 6 +3 + 6 = 15 games. He won or tied 6+ 3 = 9 games.
His percentage is 9/15 = 0.6 x 100 = 60%
April played 5+7+4 = 16 games and won or tied 5 +7 = 12 games.
Her percentage is: 12/16 = 0.75 x 100 = 75%
Tony played 20 games and won or tied 14.
His percentage is: 14/20 = 0.7 x 100 = 70%
April has the highest percentage so she is the one who should play.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ill try to break this down, simply:
When we talk about percentages we are talking about how much part of something we have and the percent sign is a just a symbol representing that.
Lets say we have 2 out of 10 apples and we need to convert this to a percentage
First think about how many apples we have in total... and that would be 10, and then how many apples we currently have being 2:
So if we put the part that we have over the whole thing we get:
So now lets turn this into a decimal, when its something over 10 its really easy, all we have to do is move the decimal back one place!
So we have 2 and if we move the decimal back one place we get .2 or 0.2
Now we have our decimal, to convert this into a percentage all we have to do is multiply our decimal by 100
So:
0.2 x 100 = 20%
All you do when you multiply by 100 is move the decimal back over 2 places one place for each zero so:
0.2 --> 2. --> 20.
Which gives us again 20%
