Answer 1

To find 56% of 76, you can multiply 76 by 0.56:

\[ 76 \times 0.56 = 42.56 \]

Now, to express 42.56 as a fraction, you can break it down:

• The whole number part is 42.
• The decimal part, .56, can be converted to a fraction: 0.56 = 56/100 = 14/25 after simplification.

So, we have:

\[ 42.56 = 42 + \frac{14}{25} = 42 \frac{14}{25} \]

Thus, 56% of 76 is \( 42 \frac{14}{25} \).

The correct answer is \( \mathbf{42 \frac{14}{25}} \).
