Question

out of 40 students 60% carry a cell phone. What fraction of students carry a cell phone

Answer 1

Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of 40 would be 4, because you divide by 10.

4 x 6 = 24, which is 60%.

The fraction would be 24/40.

Then, you need to simplify the fraction.

First, divide by 2, to make 12/20.

You can divide by 2 again, to get 6/10,

if you divide again, you get 3/5, which is your final answer.
