i don't understand the question, clarify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the table unit shows the number of states in the u.s. at different times in history. There are currently 50 states in the u.s. Use the info to answer the questions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
also what percent of the current number of states had joined the u.s. by the year 1863?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in your question you mean 1/2 right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
.5 is = to half i guess

35(current)/50(total)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
.7= 70%, right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes but how'd u come up with .7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
35(current)/50(total)
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
i divided 98 into 100 and got .98
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what is the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you already typed it in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
.98

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so by dividing 100/98 is the way to get the percent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, up above you told me that you divided 98 into one-hundred, 100/98 is more that one-hundred you divide 98/100 not 100/98 so the answer is .98
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay i did it backwards
OpenStudy (anonymous):
exactly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
any other

so 5/6=?%
divide 6 into 5 =1.2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
percent means per one-hundred percents above one-hundred means error 1.2= 120% you divide the denomintator by the numerator and that is the percent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what is the correct answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if i divide 6 into 5 i get 1.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean 1.2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
first of all if you devide 6 into 5 you get 1.2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
second of all you are doing the opposite of what i'm telling you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
try doing the exact opposite
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5 into 6 is .83333333333

OpenStudy (anonymous):
which means the percent is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just so you know 5/6 means 5 into six
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't know the formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what do you mean formula?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
100 into .83=120
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you aren't doing 100 into .83 you are doing 5 into 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5 into 6 is .83
.83 into 100 is 120
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if that's wrong im totally confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it's not wrong why do you keep saying .83 into is 120 though that has nothing to do with this problem

do you understand how to find percents now
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you need a formula it would be x/y=z z*100=percent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wow it seems so hard yes i do thanks i should be able to finish and get a better grade so once i divide multiply by 100 thanks again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i am glad to help I remember taking pre-algebra in seventh grade it was confusing for me to once i took algebra 1 it all started making sense as long as you do the hw and keep up you should do fine if there any more questions i would be glad to help
