Question

Luisa's smoothie recipe uses 8 cups of milk and 2 cups of strawberries. Enter the percentage of the smoothie recipe that is strawberries

Answer 1

20% strawberries

Explanation:

Since percentages can be found using fractions, we can turn the amounts of strawberries into a fraction. First, we determine the denominator by determining what the whole is or what the two numbers equal together. In this case: 8+2 is 10 meaning we will make our fractions with a denominator of ten. As we are determining the percentage of strawberries, we put 2 over 10 to get:
`(2)/(10\\)` which, when converted to a percentage, equals 20%.

Answer 2

25% is your answer

Explanation:

2/8 = 25%
