Question

There are 110 students in the sixth grade at Moore Middle School, and 33 of them have Mr. Andrews for math. Shade the grid to show the fraction of the students in the sixth grade who have Mr. Andrews for math. What percent of the students in the sixth grade have Mr. Andrews for math? You can use your model to help. %

a) Shade the grid to represent 33/110.

b) Shade the grid to represent 110/33.

c) Calculate the fraction as 1/3.

d) Calculate the fraction as 3/11.

Answer 1

To find the percent of sixth-graders with Mr. Andrews for math, divide 33 by 110 to get the fraction, which is then converted to a decimal (0.3) and then to a percent (30%). Therefore, 30% of the sixth-grade students have Mr. Andrews for math. Shade 30 out of 100 cells on a grid to visually represent this percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percent of sixth-grade students who have Mr. Andrews for math, take the number of students with Mr. Andrews (33) and divide it by the total number of sixth-grade students (110). The fraction representing the students with Mr. Andrews is 33/110. To convert this fraction to a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator:

33 ÷ 110 = 0.3

Now, convert the decimal to a percent by multiplying by 100:

0.3 × 100 = 30%

Therefore, 30% of the students in the sixth grade have Mr. Andrews for math.

When shading a grid to represent this fraction:

1. Each cell in the grid represents 1%.
2. Since 30% of students have Mr. Andrews for math, shade 30 out of the 100 cells on the grid.
