delcan is making a batch of cookies that contains eight cups of ingredients. Two cup of ingredients are sugar. What percent of the cookie ingredients are sugar?
To find the percentage, we need to divide the amount of sugar by the total ingredients and then multiply by 100%.
The amount of sugar is 2 cups, and the total ingredients are 8 cups.
So, the fraction of ingredients that are sugar is 2/8 = 1/4.
To convert this fraction to a percentage, we multiply by 100%:
(1/4) * 100% = 25%.
Therefore, 25% of the cookie ingredients are sugar.
write 12 30 as a percent.
To write 12/30 as a percentage, we divide 12 by 30 and then multiply by 100%.
12/30 = 0.4
0.4 * 100% = 40%
Therefore, 12/30 is equivalent to 40%.
what is 25 of 380
To find 25% of 380, we multiply 380 by 0.25 (which is the decimal form of 25%).
380 * 0.25 = 95
Therefore, 25% of 380 is 95.
Jonah saw a news report that stated that 72 of the children in this town played a sport last year. if there are 4,000 children in his town, how many children in his town played a sport last year?
To find the number of children who played a sport last year in Jonah's town, we need to calculate the proportion of children who played a sport based on the information given.
The news report states that 72 children played a sport last year, and the total number of children in the town is 4,000.
To calculate the proportion, we divide the number of children who played a sport by the total number of children:
Proportion = 72 / 4000 = 0.018
To find the actual number of children who played a sport, we multiply the proportion by the total number of children:
Number of children who played a sport = 0.018 * 4000 = 72
Therefore, 72 children in Jonah's town played a sport last year.
that not correct
Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate it correctly:
The news report states that 72 children played a sport last year, and the total number of children in the town is 4,000.
To calculate the proportion, we divide the number of children who played a sport by the total number of children:
Proportion = 72 / 4000 = 0.018
To find the actual number of children who played a sport, we multiply the proportion by the total number of children:
Number of children who played a sport = 0.018 * 4000 = 72
Therefore, 72 children in Jonah's town played a sport last year.
