Question 1078555: Thomas won first place at a local tennis tournament. He achieved a first serve 33 times out of 55 times. What was Thomas' first serve percentage? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 33/55=3/5 or 60%
one can divide 55 into 33, but when the numerator numbers are all the same fraction as the corresponding numbers in the denominator, one can do it the above way.
333/555 is also 4/5.
