Question

In December it snowed 6 out of 31 days. Approximately what percent of

the days did it not snow?

Answer 1

80.65%

Explanation:

31-6=25

25/31=80.65%

Answer 2

Since our denominator in 6/31 is 31, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator-

100/31 = 3.2258064516129

= 6* 3.2258064516129 19.354838709677

__________________ = ____________________

31*3.2258064516129 100

Now we can see that our fraction is 19.354838709677/100, which means that 6/31 as a percentage is 19.3548%.

100%- 19.3548%.

80.6452

= 81% or 80.65%
