Question

Find the sum of $\frac{1}{3}+45%$ . Express the final answer as a fraction.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Convert the into fraction form by dividing this by .

$\frac{45%}{100%} = \frac{9}{20}$

Add the two fractions.

First find the common denominator by multiplying the current denominators together.

$3\cdot 20=60$

Now convert each fraction into an equivalent fraction with the new, common denominator.

$\frac{1\cdot 20}{3\cdot 20}+\frac{9\cdot 3}{20\cdot 3} =\frac{20}{60}+\frac{27}{60}=\frac{47}{60}$

Question

Each of a set of balls is marked with a letter of the English alphabet. Each vowel is represented by five balls; each consonant, three. What percent of the balls are marked with vowels? (Nearest whole percent)

Note: For purposes of this problem, "Y" is considered a consonant.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

There are five vowels, each represented by five balls; this is a total of

$5 \times 5 = 25$

balls with vowels.

There are twenty-one consonants, each represented by three balls; this is a total of

$21 \times 3 = 63$

balls with consonants.

There are balls total of which 25 out of 88 are marked with vowels. This represents

$\frac{25}{88} \times 100 % \approx 28.4 %$

of the balls, so 28% is the correct choice.
