Question

5 of the 40 girls on the school's soccer team are 6th students. What percent of the team are 6th graders?

Answer 1

12.5% of the team are 6th graders.

Explanation:

When we have the part (5) and the total (40), we can divide the part by the total:

5/40 = 0.125.

To convert a decimal to a percent, we move the decimal point two places to the right. 0.125 → 12.5%

12.5% of the team are 6th graders.

Hope this helps!
