solve and write remainders as fractions.

Question

14. 20% of what number is 62?

Answer 1

Let x be the number we are looking for.

We can set up the equation:

0.20x = 62

To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.20:

x = 62 ÷ 0.20

x = 310

Therefore, 20% of 310 is 62.

To write the remainder as a fraction, we can use the following formula:

Remainder ÷ Divisor = Fraction

The remainder in this case is 0, since 310 is evenly divisible by 1. We can write this as 0/1.

Therefore, the answer is:

20% of 310 is 62, and the remainder is 0/1.
