Question

O'Henry Elementary School has a chess club. Of the students in the sixth

grade, 7/20 are in the chess club. If there are 100 students in the sixth
grade, how many are in the chess club?

Answer 1

35% of the sixth grade is in the chess club

Explanation:

if there are 100 students consider that as 100%

20 is a fifth of 100

20 x 5 =100

since 7/20 is a fraction you multiple the numerator (7) with the same number you multiplied to the denominator (20) which is 5.

7 x 5 = 35

35/100 = 35%
