Answer 1

1. You have two numbers: 0.4 and 320.
Do you think you should
add?
subtract?
multiply?
divide?
Which gives you the most reasonable answer?

2. Change this to a decimal and then a percent.
12/20 = ?

Answer 2

2. 0.6=60%

1. i think you should divide? 125?

Answer 3

2 is correct.

1.
320/0.4 = 800
0.4/320 = 0.00125
Obviously those answers are wrong.

Answer 4

you subtract then? 320-40=280?

Answer 5

Nope. Forty percent is almost half.

You have two choices left. Please do not post this question again. Good luck and happy figuring.
