james was sick 2 out of the 5 days this week wha % of the week was he sick

Answer 1

To find the percentage of the week that James was sick, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of sick days}}{\text{Total days}}\right) \times 100 \]

In this case, James was sick for 2 days out of a total of 5 days. Plugging in the numbers:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{2}{5}\right) \times 100 = 0.4 \times 100 = 40% \]

So, James was sick for 40% of the week.
