mr. alvarez tells his students that the next math test will have 50 problems. he also says that 20% of the problems will be word problems. the students want to know how many word problems they will have to complete on the test.
simplify the fraction.
20/100 = ?/5
20/100 = 1/5
how many word problems will be on the test?
since 20% of 1/5, of 50 is ?, there will be ? word problems on the test.
To find out how many word problems will be on the test, we first need to calculate 20% of 50.
20% of 50 = 0.20 * 50 = 10
Therefore, there will be 10 word problems on the test.
