Question #12: There are 15 pieces of fruit in a bowl. 6 of them are pears. What percentage of the total fruit in the bowl are pears?

since our denominator in 6/15 is 15, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 ÷ 15 = 6.6666666666667

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:

6 x 6.6666666666667/15 x 6.6666666666667

= 40/100

Now we can see that our fraction is 40/100, which means that 6/15 as a percentage is 40%.

We can also work this out in a simpler way by first converting the fraction 6/15 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

6/15 = 0.4

Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage:

0.4 x 100 = 40%

And there you have it! Two different ways to convert 6/15 to a percentage. Both are pretty straightforward and easy to do, but I personally prefer the convert to decimal method as it takes less steps.

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

6/15 = 0.4 = 40%

All these mean the same them, but what we are looking for is a percentage, which is 40%.

Hope that helps!

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!
