I have 300 chips. I broke 56% of them for a science project. How many chips did I break?
I multiply 56% and 300 right?
168?
yes. 300*.56=...
Thank you!
To determine how many chips you broke, you can indeed multiply 56% (or 0.56 as a decimal) by the total number of chips, which is 300. Let's walk through the calculation together:
56% as a decimal is 0.56. So, you'll multiply 0.56 by 300:
0.56 x 300 = 168
Therefore, you broke 168 chips. Your calculation is correct!
