The U.S. produces 25% of all beef int he world. What fraction of all beef does the rest of the world produce
A.1/4
B.2/5
C.3/4
D.4/5
A?
No.
Actually it's C because 25% is equal to 1/4. So that means that 3/4 is what the rest of the world produces. To make it simple 1/4 + 3/4= 4/4= 1whole. Got it now?
To find the fraction of all beef that the rest of the world produces, we can subtract the 25% produced by the U.S. from 100%. This is because when we add the percentage produced by the U.S. to the percentage produced by the rest of the world, it should equal 100%.
So, 100% - 25% = 75%.
Therefore, the fraction of all beef that the rest of the world produces is 75%.
The answer choice that corresponds to this fraction is C. 3/4.
