Question

I need help with this word problem.

"The toddler only 1 out of the 3 questions right on his "Stop, Drop, and Roll, test. What percentage of the questions did he get right? Write your answer as a fractional percent. Make sure your answer is fully reduced.

*Hint: This is asking you to find what percent of 1 is 3.
What do I do????????

Answer 1

33 ⅓%

Explanation:

Percent means out of 100, so write a proportion:

1 / 3 = x / 100

Solve for x by multiplying both sides by 100:

x = 100 / 3

Reduce:

x = 33 ⅓

The percent of questions he got right is 33 ⅓%.
