Question

For a science experiment, students need to find 25% of 60 grams. Jada says, "I can find this by calculating 14 of 60." Andre says, "25% of 60 means 25100⋅60." Lin says both of their methods work. Do you agree with Lin? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

both

Explanation:

correct

Answer 2

I agree with Lin who says both of their methods work.

Explanation:

For a science experiment, students need to find 25% of 60 grams.

Now, Jada says, " I can find this by calculating
`(1)/(4)` of 60".

So, he is correct because 25% means
`(25)/(100) = (1)/(4)`, so 25% of 60 grams is equivalent to
`(1)/(4)` of 60.

Again, Andre says, "25% of 60 means
`(25)/(100). 60`".

Therefore, he is also correct.

So, I agree with Lin who says both of their methods work. (Answer)
