i have 2 problems.
1. Only 40% of the seats in a theater are occupied. The theater 320 seat. How many seats are occupied?
2. In one game, a football quarterback threw 20 passes and completed 12 of them. What percent of the passes were completed?
while helping me out.. i will glady respond to any comments below thank you
1. You have two numbers: 0.4 and 320.
Do you think you should
add?
subtract?
multiply?
divide?
Which gives you the most reasonable answer?
2. Change this to a decimal and then a percent.
12/20 = ?
2. 0.6=60%
1. i think you should divide? 125?
2 is correct.
1.
320/0.4 = 800
0.4/320 = 0.00125
Obviously those answers are wrong.
you subtract then? 320-40=280?
Nope. Forty percent is almost half.
You have two choices left. Please do not post this question again. Good luck and happy figuring.
Sure, I can help you with both problems. Let's start with the first one:
1. To find out how many seats are occupied in the theater, we need to calculate 40% of the total number of seats.
- The first step is to convert 40% to decimal form. To do that, divide 40 by 100: 40 / 100 = 0.4.
- Then, multiply the decimal form by the total number of seats: 0.4 * 320 = 128.
- So, 128 seats are occupied in the theater.
Now let's move on to the second problem:
2. To find out the percentage of passes completed by the quarterback, we need to divide the number of completed passes by the total number of passes and then multiply by 100.
- Divide 12 (number of completed passes) by 20 (total number of passes): 12 / 20 = 0.6.
- Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: 0.6 * 100 = 60%.
- Therefore, 60% of the passes were completed by the quarterback.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask.
