Write three fractions that can be written as percents between 50% and 75%. Justify your solution
Can you please help me????
50% = 1/2 = 12/24
75% = 3/4 = 18/24
What are three fractions between 12/24 and 18/24?
This is on my homework, thanks
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with that. To find three fractions that can be written as percents between 50% and 75%, we can first convert 50% and 75% to fractions.
To convert a percent to a fraction, we divide it by 100. So, 50% as a fraction is 50/100, which simplifies to 1/2. Similarly, 75% as a fraction is 75/100, which simplifies to 3/4.
Now that we have these fractions, we can choose three fractions that lie between 1/2 and 3/4. Here are three examples:
1) 2/5: To justify this solution, we can convert 2/5 to a percent by multiplying it by 100. 2/5 multiplied by 100 is equal to 40%, which is less than 50% but greater than 0%. Therefore, 2/5 satisfies the condition.
2) 5/8: Similarly, we can convert 5/8 to a percent by multiplying it by 100. 5/8 multiplied by 100 is equal to 62.5%, which is greater than 50% but less than 75%.
3) 3/5: We can once again convert 3/5 to a percent by multiplying it by 100. 3/5 multiplied by 100 is equal to 60%, which falls between 50% and 75%.
So, the three fractions that can be written as percents between 50% and 75% are 2/5, 5/8, and 3/5.
