please help

OpenStudy (blm1):

what's your question?

OpenStudy (mrcoolguy):

OpenStudy (mrcoolguy):

i think its B or D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think should be the answer ??

OpenStudy (kelsey.benton00):

48% in decimal form is 0.48 When you have a fraction, you divide the top number by the bottom number to get a decimal. So go through all the answers, and divide them, and whichever one is equal to 0.48, that's your answer (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show how you came to the two options ?

OpenStudy (mrcoolguy):

so B

OpenStudy (kelsey.benton00):

24/25 is equal to 0.96 which is not equal to 0.48. So it can't be D. B is equal to 0.48, so that must be right (:

OpenStudy (mrcoolguy):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (kelsey.benton00):

Glad to help :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it be easier to multiply each option by 4 to get you the same denominator as asked in the question ?

OpenStudy (kelsey.benton00):

Either way gets you the same answer @xavier123

OpenStudy (kelsey.benton00):

And they all already have the same denominator

OpenStudy (mrcoolguy):

i got 100% thank you guys

OpenStudy (kelsey.benton00):

Nice job (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it does... its just that dealing with fractions is easier than decimals :P

OpenStudy (kelsey.benton00):

Fair enough. To each his own xp
