Question

Estimate by using the table of percent-fraction equivalents: 48% of 62 = _____PercentFraction25% 1 /433-1/3%1/350% 1/266-2/3%2/375% 3/4

Answer 1

To obtain the exact answer, set

`\begin{gathered} 62\rightarrow100\% \\ x\rightarrow48\% \\ \Rightarrow(62)/(100)=(x)/(48) \\ \Rightarrow x=(62*48)/(100)=29.76 \end{gathered}`

The exact answer is 29.76

In the case of estimating the answer, notice that 48% is approximately 50%; therefore,

`62*50\%=62*(1)/(2)=31`

The estimated answer is 31
