Question

Dominic answers 43 of the 50 questions on his spelling test correctly. Witch decimal represents the fraction of problems he answered incorrectly

Answer 1

First of all, lets first find out the decimal representing how many questions he got correct. So this would would 43/50 otherwise written as 0.86 or 86%. Now in a test score, 100% is the perfect rate so we can subtract 86% from 100% in order to get 14%. Since we are looking for a decimal representative for this problem, then we simply write 14% as 0.14. So to conclude, the decimal representative of the problems that were answered incorrectly is 0.14
