In a​ race,
29 out of the
50
swimmers finished in less than
50 minutes. What percent of
swimmers finished the race in less than
50 ​minutes? Write an equivalent fraction to find the percent.

Respuesta :

58% of swimmers swam the race in under 50 minutes

Answer:

58% - 29/50(equivalent fraction)

Step-by-step explanation:

29/50 x 2 = 58/100 convert to decimal, 0.58, convert to percent, take decimal symbol and put it to digits to the right, 58%

the reason I doubled the fraction was to make it 100 so you can convert into a decimal a lot easier.

how I got 29/50, 29 out of 50 is the same thing is 29/50.
