Question

Calculate the following percent using fraction equivalents. 50% of 64

Answer 1

Explanation:

50% is
`(50)/(100)` but we're working with 64 units, not 100. So, we must find a number that represents 50 but in 64 units.

`(50)/(100)=(x)/(64)`

If you solve for x, you get:

`x=(50*64)/(100)\\ x=32`

`(50)/(100)=(32)/(64)`
