Answer 2

66/100 = 0.66

Explanation:

You can solve for the question mark value as though it were any other variable, or you can recognize the relationship between the numbers in the proportion.

__

solve for ?

33/50 = ?/100

100(33/50) = ? = 66 . . . . . multiply both sides by 100

Then we know ...

33/50 = 66/100 = 0.66

__

recognize the relationship

`(33)/(50)=\frac{\text{?}}{100}\\\\(2\cdot33)/(2\cdot50)=(66)/(100)=0.66`
