d. Express the percent of girls in fraction.

Answer 1

a. The percentage of boys in the club is 68.75%. b. The percentage of girls in the club is 31.25%. c. The fraction representing the percentage of boys is 11/16. d. The fraction representing the percentage of girls is 5/16.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To find the percentage of the club that are boys, divide the number of boys by the total number of club members and multiply by 100. In this case, 55 boys out of 80 club members gives us a percentage of (55/80) * 100 = 68.75%.

b. To find the percentage of the club that are girls, subtract the percentage of boys from 100. In this case, 100 - 68.75 = 31.25%.

c. To express the percentage of boys in fraction form, divide the percentage by 100. In this case, 68.75% = 68.75/100 = 11/16.

d. To express the percentage of girls in fraction form, divide the percentage by 100. In this case, 31.25% = 31.25/100 = 5/16.
