3.)subtract 6 from 54 to get the # right then divide by 54 to get the percentage right.   # of right/# possible=48/54=24/27=8/9=.888 or {{{highlight(88.9)}}}% correct

23)....the 1kg=2.205 pounds....so we must divide 45 by 2.205 and that will give us the weight in kilo grams.  {{{highlight(45/2.205=20.4)}}} kg
:
45)  x +.023(x)=10.55
.....1.023x=10.55
..... {{{highlight(x=10.55/1.023=10.31)}}}amount of avg wage last year

10) 1 liter =33.81 ounces so 2 liters = 67.62.......now we divide this by the 5 ounce servings for each child.
67.62/5=13.52 servings but we know that only {{{highlight(13)}}} children will get a full 5 ounce serving. 52/100 of an ounce is left over.
