Question

In Key West, Florida, it is sunny 75% of the days. How many days would you expect it to be sunny in the month of October? Round to the nearest day.

Answer 1

23.25 days (rounds to 23 days)

There are 31 days in October. First, you would change 75% into a decimal by moving the decimal point over two spaces:

75%=0.75

Then you would multiply 31 by .75 to find the number of days:

31×0.75=23.25

23.25 is the number of days it would be sunny; rounded down it would be 23 days total.
