Answer:

The fraction of guests order the signature dish is 11/20

Explanation:

Given Parameters

55% of guests order the signature dish

Required: The fraction of guests that ordered signature dish

The interpretation of the question is that we should convert the percentage of guests order the signature dish from percentage to fraction.

Let F represent the fraction of guests order the signature dish.

F = 55%

Convert to fraction

F = 55/100

Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5

F = (55÷5)/(100÷5)

F = 11/20

Hence, the fraction of guests order the signature dish is 11/20
