Question

Susan worked 5 out of 8 hours during the day what percentage of the day does she work

Answer 1

62.5%

Explanation:

The easiest way to solve this is to simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

8
`√(5)` (8 divided by 5).

8 goes into 5 0 times, so we bring down a zero (0)

8 goes into 50 6 times with 2 left over (0.6)

Now, we bring down the next zero

8 goes into 20 2 times with 4 left over (0.62)

Bring down another zero

8 goes into 40 5 times (0.625)

To wrote 0.625 as a percent, we will move the decimal two places to the right and get 62.5%.

Answer 2

5/8 * 125/125 = 625/1,000 = 0.625
62.5 percent
Solution: 62.5%
