Question

For an experiment, Homer brought a container filled with 15 grams of snow into a warm environment. After 2 minutes, 46% of the snow had melted. How many grams of snow were remaining in the container after the 2 minutes?

Answer 1

8.1

Explanation:

Since 46% melted, 100−46=54% remains. Use the decimal 0.54 in place of 54% to find that 54% of 15 is 0.54(15)=8.10 grams.
