To find the reduced fraction equivalent for sugar/shortbread cookies based on the given pie chart, we need to calculate the fraction represented by the sugar/shortbread segment.
First, convert the percentage given for sugar/shortbread cookies into a decimal by dividing it by 100:
7% = 7/100 = 0.07
Next, we need to represent this decimal as a fraction. To do this, we will remove the decimal point and express it as a fraction over a power of 10.
Since there is only one digit after the decimal point, we can multiply the number by 10 to move the decimal point one place to the right:
0.07 × 10 = 0.7
This gives us the fraction 0.7/1. To further simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 7 in this case:
0.7 ÷ 7 = 0.1
1 ÷ 7 = 1/7
So the reduced fraction equivalent for sugar/shortbread cookies is 1/10.
Therefore, the reduced fraction equivalent for sugar/shortbread cookies is 1/10.
