Question

At Berry Fun Farm, Liz picked 12 pints of berries. If 25% of the pints were blueberries, how many pints of blueberries did Liz pick?

Answer 1

Answer: 25% of 12 is 3

Explanation:

Since there 25% is 1/4 of 100%, you'd need to divide.

There are 12 pints of berries.

If 1/2 of 25% is 6 since
`2 √(12)=6`, you can say that the percentage would be 2/4.

Now, divide 12 by 4:
`4√(12)=3`

3 in this case would be the 1/4 and the 1/4 is substituting 25%

So there are 3 pints of blueberries.
