3:12 = x:100

Cross multiply to solve for x:

12x = 300
x = 25

So, the Mason High Cougars need to win 25 out of the next 100 games to make it to the playoffs, which is 25%.
Leilani rides her bike for exercise and drinks 70 ounces of water each day in order to stay hydrated before her morning ride she drinks 14 ounces of water Leilani wants to know what percent of her daily amount of water she has before her ride

find an equivalent ratio where the total amount of water is 100 ounces.

water before ride: (oz) 14 __
total amount of water: (oz) 70 100
14:70 = x:100

Cross multiply to solve for x:

70x = 1400
x = 20

So, before her morning ride, Leilani has consumed 20 out of the 100 ounces of water she drinks daily, which is 20%.
marco set aside 50 minutes before dinner to work on his homework He spent 22 minutes on math marcos grandmother wants to know what percent of his study time he spent on math.

which statement describes the amount of time marco spent on his math homework?

marco spent most of his study time on math
marco spent less than one-quarter of his study time on math
marco spent about half of his study time on math
To find the percent of his study time Marco spent on math, we need to calculate the ratio of the time spent on math to the total study time.

Time spent on math: 22 minutes
Total study time: 50 minutes

Now, let's find the percent:

22:50 = x:100
50x = 2200
x = 44

So, Marco spent 44% of his study time on math.

Based on the calculated percentage, Marco did not spend most of his study time on math, since he spent less than half of his study time on math but more than one-quarter of it. Therefore, the statement that best describes the amount of time Marco spent on his math homework is: Marco spent less than one-quarter of his study time on math.
thats wrong
Let's find the correct percentage of time Marco spent on math:

Time spent on math: 22 minutes
Total study time: 50 minutes

To find the percentage, we can set up the ratio:

22:50 = x:100

Cross multiply:

50x = 2200
x = 44

Therefore, Marco spent 44% of his study time on math.

Since 44% is less than half (50%), the correct statement is: "marco spent less than half of his study time on math". Thank you for pointing that out.
