draw a diagram of this statement. three fifths of the baker 60 cookies were chocolate cookies (a) how many of the baker cookies were chocolate? (b) what percent of the bakers cookies were not chocolate cookies
What is 3/5 of 60?
60%
Two fifths of the baker’s 60 cookies were oatmeal.
a. How many of the baker’s cookies were oatmeal?
b. What percent of the baker’s cookies were not oatmeal?
To draw a diagram representing the statement, we can use a rectangle to represent the total number of cookies made by the baker. Let's label this rectangle as "60 cookies."
(a) We are told that three-fifths of the baker's 60 cookies were chocolate cookies. To find out how many chocolate cookies there are, we can visually divide the rectangle into five equal parts representing fifths. Then, shade in three of those parts to represent the chocolate cookies. Count the shaded parts to determine the number of chocolate cookies.
(b) To find the percentage of the baker's cookies that were not chocolate cookies, we need to calculate the fraction of cookies that were not chocolate in relation to the total. Since three-fifths of the cookies were chocolate, that means two-fifths were not chocolate. Divide the rectangle into five equal parts again and shade in two parts to represent the non-chocolate cookies. Now, count the shaded parts and calculate the percentage by dividing this count by the total number of cookies (60 in this case) and multiplying by 100. This will give you the percentage of the baker's cookies that were not chocolate.
By applying these visual representations, you should be able to answer both parts of the question accurately.
We can't draw a diagram here.
