sixty percent of the 30 students in the class are girls. write sixty percent as a reduced fraction. then find the number of girls in the class
.
% is interpreted as "per one hundred"
therefore
sixty percent = 60% = 60/100
.
Reducing:
60/100 = 6/10 = 2/5
.
2/5 of 30 students then is:
2/5 *30 = 2*6 = 12 girls
