Answer 1

abc

Explanation:

Answer 2

Write a fraction using the percent over 100 and simplify. AND. Divide the percent by 100, write it as a fraction, and simplify.

Explanation:

Let's test all the answers and see which statements are true.

Let's just use 50 as the percent to test it. These statements should end up looking like
`(1)/(2)`

Write a fraction using the percent over 10 and simplify.

`(50)/(10) =5`, half of ten is 5, so this makes it invalid.

Write a fraction using the percent over 100 and simplify.

`(50)/(100) =(1)/(2)`, this is valid.

Divide the percent by 100, write it as a fraction, and simplify.

`(50)/(100) =(1)/(2)`, valid!

Multiply the percent by 100, write it as a fraction, and simplify.

`50*100=500`, invalid.

The two valid statements are: Write a fraction using the percent over 100 and simplify. AND. Divide the percent by 100, write it as a fraction, and simplify.
