Answer:

A) Fraction = 3/5, Percentage = 60%

B) Fraction = 1/15 , Decimal = 0.083333 ≈ 0.08

C) Ratio = 1:9, Fraction = 1/9

Explanation:

A) The total amount of money Jack received = $75

Jack's spent on shoes = $45

The proportion he spent on shoes

= $45/$75

= 3/5

Converting this fraction to percentage

= 3/5 × 100% = 60%

B.What proportion of his birthday money went toward music?

The total amount of money Jack received = $75

Jack's spent on music = $5

The proportion he spent on music

= $5/$75

= 1/15

Converting this fraction to decimal

= 1/15 = 0.0833333333

It is a repeating decimal.

Approximately to the nearest hundredth = 0.08

C. Write the ratio of money Jack spent on music to money Jack spent on shoes.

The ratio of money spent on music to the ratio of my money spent on shoes

Music : Shoes

$5 : $45

1:9

The fraction that js equivalent to the ratio is 1/9
