oranges. What percentage of the Fruit are oranges? (Please explain)

Respuesta :

Answer:

If there are 16 pieces of fruit and 8 of them are oranges then 16 - 8 = 8.       This proves that 8 is half of 16 so the percentage of oranges in the bowl is 50%

I hope this helps (:

Answer:

50% of them are oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of the fruit in the bowl are oranges and the other half aren't. As a percentage, 50% would describe the oranges in the bowl and 100% would describe the overall amount of fruit in the bowl since half of 16 is 8. Sorry if my explanation is confusing.
