Hey there!
Question #1.
36% of 400
= 36% * 400
= 36/100 * 400/1
= 36 ÷ 2 / 100 ÷ 2 * 400/1
= 18/50 * 400/1
= 18 ÷ 2 / 50 ÷ 2 * 400/1
= 9 / 25 * 400/1
= 9(400) / 25(1)
= 3,600 / 25
= 3,600 ÷ 25
= 144
Therefore, the answer should be: 144
Question #2.
16% of 32
= 16% * 32
= 16/100 * 32/1
= 16 ÷ 2 / 100 ÷ 2 * 32/1
= 8 / 50 * 32/1
= 8 ÷ 2 / 50 ÷ 2 * 32/1
= 4 / 25 * 32/1
= 4(32) / 25(1)
= 128 / 25
≈ 5.12
≈ 5 3/25
Therefore, the answer should be:
• 128/25
• 5.12
• 5 3/25
(Either of those should work because they are equivalent or equal to each other!)
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
