Your answers as a fraction, decimal, and percent

Answer 1

Green = 3/12, 0.25, 25%

Blue = 6/12, 0.5, 50%

Red = 3/12, 0.25, 25%

Explanation:

In image shown there is a total of 12 seats. So the number of the colored areas are:

3 green

3 red

6 blue

These numbers will be represented in fractions by the number of seats color over the number of total seats.

3/12 green

3/12 red

6/12 blue

To get the decimal form we simply divide the number on top to the number below.

0.25 green

0.25 red

0.5 blue

To find the percentage value, we multiply the decimal number by 100.

0.25 x 100 = 25%

0.25 x 100 = 25%

0.5 x 100 = 50%
