Question

If you rewrote these percents as fractions which one could be written as a whole number over 10? A. 1% B. 5% C.25% D. 40%

Answer 1

D. 40%

Explanation:

Hi! All you basically need to do in this question is to really think. The tenths placement is what you are looking for.

Let us use money for example. a penny would represent 1%. It needs to be in tenths, 1/10, 2/10, 3/10, and so on to be a whole number. A penny is simplified to be only 1/100. This will not work.

B is 5%. This would represent a nickel. A nickel is simplified to be 1/20. This will not work. C is 25%. This would represent a quarter.

A quarter simplified is 2.5/10... not a whole number.

However 40% is 4/10, making it our answer.

Hope this helps!
