Question

If 8 out of 20 students in a class are boys, what percent of the class is made up of boys?

Answer 1

40% are boys

Answer 2

Oh i see it now

Answer 3

8 out of 20 is the ratio 8/20
The fraction 8/20 equals the decimal 0.4
When you multiply a decimal by 100, you get that decimal as a percentage: 0.40 * 100 = 40%
