3/8
Divide the numerator by the denominator to find the decimal,
Multiply the decimal by 100 to find the percentage.
"not selecting a consonant" = selecting a vowel. There are 3 vowels in the 8 letters. Take it from here.
To find the fraction, decimal, and percentage of not selecting a consonant from the letters available (s, e, l, e, c, t, e, d), we need to first determine how many of these letters are consonants.
The consonants in this case are s, l, c, t, and d. Therefore, there are 5 consonants out of the total 8 letters available.
To find the fraction, we divide the number of desired outcomes (not selecting a consonant) by the total number of possible outcomes (total number of letters). So, the fraction of not selecting a consonant is 3 (the number of vowels: e, e, e) divided by 8 (the total number of letters available). Therefore, the fraction is 3/8.
To find the decimal equivalent, we divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (8). So, 3 divided by 8 is equal to 0.375.
To find the percentage, we multiply the decimal equivalent by 100. So, 0.375 multiplied by 100 is equal to 37.5%. Therefore, the percentage of not selecting a consonant is 37.5%.
In summary:
- Fraction: 3/8
- Decimal: 0.375
- Percentage: 37.5%
