Question

Of 500 people who used the internet to find pet information, 390 said they used it when buying a pet. What portion used the internet when buying a pet?

Answer 1

So,

390 people out of a total of 500 people used the internet in order to buy a pet. You can put this in fraction form:

`(390)/(500)`

Simplify

`(390)/(500) = (2* 3 *5*13)/(2*2*5*5*5) = (3*13)/(2*5*5)`

or


`(39)/(50)`
