Question

Tom, Lisa, and Jane are competing in a cooking competition. They all used different amounts of sugar from a can containing 4 pounds of sugar.

• Tom used 13% of the total sugar in the can.
• Lisa used 0.6 pound of the total sugar in the can.
• Jane used 0.12 of the total sugar in the can.

Who used the greatest amount of sugar from the can? Show your work and explain your answer in words.

Answer 1

so like a first step you need to know what mean this 13% like decimal expressed

Answer 2

ok so 13% = 13/100 = ?

Answer 3

in decimal form how you write this ?

Answer 4

@Laylalyssa do you can explain it pls more understandably ?

Answer 5

idk other way - sorry

Answer 6

bc. i think this is the easy-st way what i ve wrote above

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

I think Lisa used the most
Tom only used 0.52
bc 0.13x4=0.52
and Lisa used 2.4
bc 0.6x4= 2.4
And Jane used 0.48
bc 0.12x4= 0.48
I think therefore Lisa used the most
right?

Answer 9

yes

bc. than you rewrite them all in decimal form you get

Lisa used 0,6 pound so this is 0,60 pounds from total
Tom used 13% so 0,13 pounds from total
Jane used 0,12 pound from total

from these all 0,60 is the greatest
