Question

When students at Luray Middle School were surveyed, 22% said they would like hamburgers at lunch rather than hotdogs. What is that percent rounded to the nearest compatible fraction?

Answer 1

22/100=> 11/50 would be the answer

Answer 2

Answer:
`(11)/(50)`

Explanation:

Given : When students at Luray Middle School were surveyed, 22% said they would like hamburgers at lunch rather than hotdogs.

We know that to convert a percent into a fraction , we need to divide the percent by 100 , we get

`22\%=(22)/(100)`

Which can be written as :
`(2*11)/(2*50)`

Cancel out 2 from the numerator and the denominator , we get

`(11)/(50)`

Hence, 22% rounded to the nearest compatible fraction
`(11)/(50)`
