Question

Which equation would provide the best estimate of 32% of 44.7?

A.
`(1)/(3)` · 40 = n
B.
`(2)/(3)` · 45 = n
C.
`(1)/(3)` · 45 = n
D.
`(2)/(3)` · 44 = n

Answer 1

`32\%=(32)/(100) \approx (1)/(3) \\ 44.7 \approx 45 \\ \\ 32\% * 44.7 \approx \boxed{(1)/(3) * 45} \Leftarrow \hbox{answer C}`
