Question

Xander was in the lead for 75% of the laps during PE. If the race lasted 12 laps, how many laps did Xander lead?

Answer 1

9 laps

Explanation:

75% of something is the same as three-fourths, or multiplying by 0.75

12 x 0.75 = 9

or you can divide by 4 and then multiply by three if you know what to separate the original number into

12/4 = 3 3 x 3 = 9
