How do I find the percentage?


Sagot :

if you take 365/180 you come up with a long decimal point
0.493150684932 and then take that times 100% and it is 49.3150684932% and if you round it up it is 50%

180/365 is the fraction

simplify by factoring and finding ones
180=2*2*3*3*5
365=5*73

180/365=5/5 times (2*2*3*3)/73=36/73

divide and get
0.49

this means 49 hundreths so
percento means parts out of 100 so
0.49=0.49/1
we want x/100
multiply top and bottom by 100
0.49/1 times 100/100
49/100
answer is 49%
the closest answer given is 50% but the answer is 49%
