Answer 2

What do you think the first thing to do is?

Answer 3

Multiply?

Answer 4

or divide?

Answer 5

The first thing I would do is divide 700 by 100% and 63 by 100%

Answer 6

That will turn both into percents

Answer 7

Not quiet, 700 divided by 100% is 7

Basically when you divide by 100, you're moving the decimal place to the left twice

Answer 8

oh well im dumb

Answer 9

thank you tho!

Answer 10

You're welocme. So what do you think the correct answer choice would be after you divide?

Answer 11

63%?

Answer 12

Correct, good job! C:

Answer 13

Thank you!!!!!

Answer 14

For example, if you do 12 divided by 100%...it'll give you 0.12, which would become 12%

Answer 15

I believe your answer is incorrect mudd, a precent is out of 100, not 700

Answer 16

right...?

Answer 17

you would have \(\frac{63}{700}\) of those who chose yellow
so we need to make 63/700 as a precent
the way you would do that is to get the denominator to be 100
which means you would have too do \(\frac{63}{700} \div \frac{100}{100}=\frac?? \)
divide straight across

Answer 18

Yes...?

Answer 19

Yeah, well I was thinking of a different method that I do in my head and works for me

Answer 20

yeah
I think I messed up too
dont do 'which means you would have too do \(\frac{63}{700} \div \frac{100}{100}=\frac?? \)
divide straight across'

Answer 21

but yeah a precent it out of 100
so you would have to get 63/700 as a precent

Answer 22

If you combine what me and supie are saying, I'm thinking it would be around 0.63/7.00 or something like that

Answer 23

uh no
to find 63/700 as a precent we would have to do \(63\div700\times100\)

Answer 24

oh okay, I thought it would be like .63 but that's not an answer choice :)

Answer 25

do you understand @MrMudd183?

Answer 26

Yeah, i'm just trying to get some work for me done

Answer 27

Alright,

what did you get when you did 63÷700×100 ?
