C) 4 out of 8

Answer 1

A) 9 out of 12

Explanation:

The first step is to divide 9 by 12 to get the answer in decimal form:

9 / 12 = 0.7500

Then, we multiplied the answer from the first step by one hundred to get the answer as a percentage:

0.7500 * 100 = 75.00%

We can prove that the answer is correct by taking 75.00 percent of 12 to get 9:

(12 x 75.00)/100 = 9
