Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place when appropriate.

Answer 1

To convert a proportion to a percentage, you can multiply it by 100.

The proportion of Year 12 pupils in the music club can be represented as 32/85.

Multiplying by 100, we get:

(32/85) * 100 = 37.65

So, 37.65% of the pupils in the school are Year 12 pupils in the music club.

Rounded to 1 decimal place, the answer is 37.7%.

Answer 2

Answer:To write a proportion as a percentage, you first convert it to a decimal and then multiply it by 100.

The proportion of Year 12 pupils in the music club is 32/85.

To convert to a decimal, divide 32 by 85:

32/85 = 0.376

To convert this decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100:

0.376 * 100 = 37.6

So, the proportion of Year 12 pupils in the music club as a percentage is 37.6%.
