some pennies were on the table.erin saw that 56 were heads up and 44 were tails up.what fraction of the pennies were hrads up? A.56/100 B.44/100 C.56/44 D.44/56
To determine the fraction of the pennies that were heads up, we need to find the ratio of the number of heads-up pennies to the total number of pennies.
In this case, Erin saw that 56 pennies were heads up and 44 pennies were tails up.
The total number of pennies is the sum of heads-up pennies and tails-up pennies, which is 56 + 44 = 100 pennies.
So, there were 56 heads-up pennies out of a total of 100 pennies.
The fraction of the pennies that were heads up can be written as 56/100.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 56/100.
