Answer 1

1. D) 17%

2. 200 miles

Explanation:

For the first question we can turn the information into a fraction, with the total number of pieces of fruit in the bowl (12) as the denominator and the number of apples (2) as the numerator.

`(2)/(12)`

Then, divide:

2/12 = 0.17 = 17%

For the second question, we set up a proportion. We know that 60 miles corresponds to 30% and the whole distance of the trip, x, corresponds to 100%

`(60)/(x) = (30)/(100)`

Cross multiply and solve:

60 * 100 = 30x

6000 = 30x

200 = x
