Question

Seth took 270 pictures for the yearbook And 180 for the school paper. Which proportion can be used to determine p,the percent of the total numbers of pictures he took that were for the yearbook?

F: p/100=270/450. H: p/100= 450/270
G: p/100=180/450. J: p/100=270/180

Answer 1

I just had a test on this last week :)

F is correct

the total amount of pictures is 450 (270 + 180)
the part of 450 in the yearbook is 270
270/450 is one of the fractions
since it is a percent, p/100 is the other fraction

Answer 2

F because, if you take 270/450=.6 or 60% and that would be your p, and 60%/100=.6
