Question

This question, please!!!

Box of candy contains 0.6 of a pound of caramels 3.6 pounds of coconut What percent the contents of the box, by weight consist of caramels?

Answer 1

14.28%

Explanation:

I'm not sure if it's right but this is how I worked it out,

the box's contents are 4.2 pounds in total,

therefore in a fraction it would be 6/42

you turn a fraction into a percentage you do the numerator divided by the denominator

6÷42=0.142857(decimal form)

now you just turn it into a percentage

14.28%

please correct me if I'm wrong
