Hey there!
5/8% of 740
• ANSWERING the QUESTION
= 5/8% × 740
= 5/8/100 × 740
• REDUCING the FRACTION TO EASIER UNDERSTANDING
5/8 ÷ 100
= 5/8 ÷ 100
= 5/8 ÷ 100/1
= 5/8 × 1/100
= 5(1) / 8(100)
= 5/800
= 5 ÷ 5 / 800 ÷ 5
= 1/160
• BACK TO ANSWERING the QUESTION
= 1/160 × 740
= 1/160 × 740/1
= 1(740) / 160 × 1
= 740 / 160
= 740 ÷ 20 / 160 ÷ 20
= 37/8 ≈ 4 5/8 ≈ 4.625
Thus, your answer is: 4.625 (Option B.)
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
