Question

records shows that 3 out of 4 families move about every 6 years. what is the percentage of families that move every 6 years?

Answer 1

75%.

3 out of 4 means 3/4

And if you divide 3/4 the answer is .75

So multiply by 100( because to convert decimal to percent you have to multiply by 100, or move the decimal place two places to the right) and you get 75

Slap a percent sign on there and you have 75%
