Question

Jordan were successful in 10 out of 15 foul shots. What percent of shots was she successfull?(round your answer to the nearest tenth)

Answer 1

Hi!

We will solve this simply by dividing the shots he made by total number of shots, like this:

10/15 = 0,666666667

Multiply this by a hundred to get the answer in percentages:

0,666666667 * 100% = 66,6666667%

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

66,7%

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

First divide the numerator ( 10 ) by the denominator ( 15 ) to get around .666666667, now that is in decimal form, time convert to percentage multiply by 100 to get around 66.66666667 percent. Now round up to the nearest tenth to get 66.7 percent.
We rounded up since 6 in the hundredths place is greater than it equal to 5.
