Answer 1

Percentage of seventh grade student on the team = 20%

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that 5 out of 25 girls on the school's soccer team are seventh grade students.

We are then told to further find the percentage of seventh grade students are on the team.

Expressing a particular quantity as a percentage of the whole is expressed as

`\text{Percentage = }\frac{Particular\text{ Quantity}}{Total\text{ number of the whole thing}}*100\text{ percent}`

Particular Quantity = 5

Total number of the whole thing = 25

Percentage = (5/25) × 100%

= (500/25)%

= 20%

Another way to express percentages is to just multiply the fraction by 100%

We can simply express the number of seventh grade students as a fraction of the total number of girls on the team.

The fraction = (5/25) = (1/5) = 0.20

In percentage,

= 0.20 × 100%

= 20%

Hope this Helps!!!
