Answer:
Percent of MVPs that were running back is 16.6%
The percent as a mixed number is 16 6/10% or 16 3/5%
5/6 of the MVPs were not running backs
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
In the first 42 Super Bowls, 0.16(repeating sign over 6) of the MVPs (most valuable players) were running backs. a. What percent of the MVPs were running backs? Write the percent as a mixed number. b. What fraction, in simplest form, of the MVPs were not running backs?
Explanation:
From the question, 0.16(repeating sign over 6) of the MVPs were running backs. Since there is repeating sign over 6, then, we can say 0.166 of the MVPs were running backs.
a. To determine what percent of the MVPs were running running back, we will multiply 0.166 by 100%.
Hence, Percent of MVPs that were running back = 0.166 × 100% = 16.6%
To write the percent as a mixed number,
16.6 = 16 + 0.6 = 16 + 6/10 = 16 6/10 = 16 3/5
∴ 16.6% = 16 3/5%
Hence, the percent as a mixed number is 16 6/10% or 16 3/5%
b. To determine what fraction of the MVPs were not running backs, that will be
1 - 0.16(repeating sign over 6) = 0.83 (repeating sign over 3)
0.83(repeating sign over 3) as a fraction is 5/6
Hence, 5/6 of the MVPs were not running backs
