Answer 8

It would be Mike, just like @breanna1999 said because you would have to convert the decimals to percentages so 13%, 14%, and 50%.

Answer 9

To take a number like .14 and turn it into a percentage you must move it two spaces to the left and you'd get 14 then you add the percent sign 14%

Answer 10

So,

Let's get all of the values into decimal form.

13% --> 0.13 times 6
0.14 times 6
0.50

0.78
0.84
0.50

Dan used the most milk.
