Question

Ryo accidentally ordered 240% as many eggs as his restaurant needed. What fraction of the number of eggs his restaurant needs did ryo order?

Answer 1

Ryo ordered
`(12)/(5)` of the amount of eggs his restaurant needed

Explanation:

Let's call z the number of eggs the restaurant needs

Ryo ordered 240% of the eggs he needed. Then Ryo ordered:

`(240)/(100)`z.

This fraction can be simplified by dividing by 10 in the numerator and denominator.

Then it is:

`(24)/(10)`

It can be further simplified by dividing by 2 in the numerator and denominator:

`(12)/(5)`z

Ryo ordered
`(12)/(5)` of the amount of eggs his restaurant needed
