Question

Jim packed 24 frenks for lunch. Jim ate 45 percent of the frenks. What

fraction of the frenks did Jim eat?

Answer 1

10 4/5

Explanation:

the equation is p%*x=y

45%/100=.45

.45*24=10.8

10.8=10 4/5

Answer 2

11 franks

Explanation:

1) Round 45% to 50% to simplify.

2) Now, we need to find out what 50% of 24 is.

12 is 50% of 24.

3) If 12 is 50%, we can make an educated guess and say...

Jim ate 11 franks for lunch.
