Question

Which of the following is equal to 5%?
OA. √√5.3
OB. √5
C. 35
D. 53

Answer 1

The correct answer which is 5% is 53 (option D).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 5% of a number, we can multiply the number by 0.05. Doing so will give us 5% of the number in decimal form.

Let's evaluate the options:

1. √√5.3 is not a valid answer as it involves square roots and not multiplication.
2. √5 is also not equal to 5%.
3. 35 is definitely not equal to 5%.
4. So, the correct answer is 53 (option D) as 53 * 0.05 equals 2.65, which is indeed 5% of 53.
