Automobiles and small trucks make up 84% of the travel to and from work in the US. What fraction represents all other means of travel to and from work in the US?
How would I set this up, I am guessing the answer is 16% but I have no clue how to get the answer if it is right.
Good work, except it says fraction, not percent. So you have to change 16% into a decimal first.- 0.16
Next, you would put 16 over 100 as a fraction, but you need to put it in simplest form. 100 divided by 4 = 25, so 25 will be the denominator. 16 divided by 4 = 4 so 4 is the numerator.
The fraction that represents all other meanas of travel to and from work in the U.S.
Sorry, I accidently hit TAB and my answer posted before I was done with it. Let me try again:
The fraction that represents all other means(excuse the "a" in the last post) of travel to and from work in the U.S. is:
4
- = the answer.
25

The other means represent 16 percent, or 16/100 which reduces to 4/25
2287/42:66393;55381290401
To find the fraction that represents all other means of travel to and from work in the US, you first need to convert the percentage 16% into a decimal by dividing it by 100. This gives you 0.16.
Next, you can express 0.16 as a fraction by writing it as 16/100. To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Dividing 16 by 4 gives you 4, and dividing 100 by 4 gives you 25.
Therefore, all other means of travel to and from work in the US can be represented by the fraction 4/25.
