Question

a school year has 4 quarters.what percent of the school year is 7 quarters?

Answer 1

Answer:

175%

Step-by-step explanation:

You "have" 7/4 quarters, which, when you divide 7 by 4, gives you 1.75.

This is only a ratio (1.75 out of 1 whole), so to get it into percentage you need to multiply 1.75 by 100, giving you 175 percent.
