There are 63 national parks in the United States. Fourteen of them are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Question

Which mathematical statement could you use to find the percentage of United States national parks that are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of United States national parks that are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, you can use the following mathematical statement:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of World Heritage Sites}}{\text{Total number of national parks}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, you would plug in the numbers:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{14}{63} \right) \times 100 \]
