The minimum daily values (MDVs) for certain foods are given. They are based on
a 2,000 calorie per day diet. Find decimal and fractional notation for the percent
notation in each sentence.
(a) 1 ounce of Tostitos provides
9% of the MDV of fat.
(c) ½ cup of Campbells’ New England clam chowder provides 6% of the MDV of iron.
a) 9% = 0.09 = 9/100
b) Try this one on your own. We'll be glad to check your answer.
6%= 0.06= 6/100 did I do it right?
Yes. You did it right. However, your teacher may expect you to reduce 6/100 to 3/50.
To find the decimal notation for the percent notation given in each sentence, you can simply divide the given percentage by 100. Here's how you can do it:
(a) For the sentence "1 ounce of Tostitos provides 9% of the MDV of fat," you can find the decimal notation by dividing 9 by 100:
9% / 100 = 0.09
So, the decimal notation for 9% is 0.09.
To find the fractional notation, you can express the decimal as a fraction. In this case, 0.09 can be written as 9/100.
Therefore, the decimal notation for 9% is 0.09, and the fractional notation is 9/100.
(c) For the sentence "½ cup of Campbell's New England clam chowder provides 6% of the MDV of iron," you can find the decimal notation by dividing 6 by 100:
6% / 100 = 0.06
So, the decimal notation for 6% is 0.06.
To find the fractional notation, you can express the decimal as a fraction. In this case, 0.06 can be written as 6/100.
Therefore, the decimal notation for 6% is 0.06, and the fractional notation is 6/100.
