Question

Describe and correct the error writing 39 over 40 as a percent.

Answer 1

Multiply instead of divide

Explanation

39/40=0.975 (Correct)

0.975x100=97.5%

If it were me I would just move the decimal point in 0.975 right twice, but since they're asking for a formula you would multiply instead of divide.

Hope this helps :)
