When students at Luray Middle School were surveyed, 22% said they would like hamburgers at lunch rather than hotdogs. What is that percent rounded to the nearest compatible fraction?

Respuesta :

22/100=> 11/50 would be the answer

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{11}{50}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : When students at Luray Middle School were surveyed, 22% said they would like hamburgers at lunch rather than hotdogs.

We know that to convert a percent into a fraction , we need to divide the percent by 100 , we get

[tex]22\%=\dfrac{22}{100}[/tex]

Which can be written as :[tex]\dfrac{2\times11}{2\times50}[/tex]

Cancel out 2 from the numerator and the denominator , we get

[tex]\dfrac{11}{50}[/tex]

Hence, 22% rounded to the nearest compatible fraction [tex]\dfrac{11}{50}[/tex]
