Question

Kyle soles 18 of 24 puzzles in a puzzle book. he says that he can use an equivalent fraction to find the percent of puzzles in the book that he solved. how can he do that? what ia the percent?

PLEASE​

Answer 1

He solved 75% of the puzzles!

Explanation:

Okay, let's look at our fraction 18 out of 24. We can see that they are both even numbers, so at worst, we can divide the entire fraction by two. However, they have a GCF of six, so we will use that.

18 3

---- divided by 6 = ----

24 4

Now that we have the fraction 3/4, we can turn that into a percentage!

3/4 is 0.75. To get the percentage, we multiply that by 100--now we have 75%.
