80% of 30 questions were correct, write 80% as a reduced fraction
would it be 2 2/3
80% = 80/100 = 4/5
2 2/3 is equivalent to about 267%
wouldn't you do 80% of the 30 questions as a fraction?
thank you I get it now.
4/5 * 30 = 120/5 = 24
Good job
To write 80% as a reduced fraction, follow these steps:
1. Write 80% as the fraction 80/100. This is because a percentage is a ratio out of 100.
2. Simplify the fraction 80/100 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
In this case, the greatest common divisor of 80 and 100 is 20.
Dividing both 80 and 100 by 20 yields: 80/20 = 4 and 100/20 = 5.
3. The simplified fraction is 4/5.
Thus, 80% can be written as the reduced fraction 4/5.
Therefore, the answer is 4/5, not 2 2/3.
