Question

Yesterday, 64% of the 6th grade students chose to drink chocolate milk with their lunch. What fraction of 6th grade students Did Not drink chocolate milk?

Answer 1

36% did not drink milk.

100% = everyone
64% drank, so the remaining percentage didn’t.

Answer 2

`(9)/(25)`

Explanation:

First subtract 100 and 64. To find how many didn't choose to drink chocolate milk.

100-64=36

Percentages put into fractions will be Percentage over 100.

So, the fraction will be
`(36)/(100)`. Now simplify.

`(36)/(100)=(18)/(50) =(9)/(25)`
