Question

Margie's vegetable garden contains cucumbers, corn, potatoes, and tomatoes. About

of the garden consists of potatoes. What percent of the vegetables in Margie's
garden are NOT potatoes?

Answer 1

60%.....................

Answer 2

60%

Explanation:

2/5 to 100%

we have to make the bottom number equal 100

5*20=100

what we do to one side we have to do to the other when multiplying and dividing fractions

2*20=40

40/100

we're looking for the OTHER vegetables so subtract that from the total

100/100 - 40/100 =60/100 or 60%
