Chad's QR Test 1

[Crithu]

This is from the first QR tests from Chads Videos.

Can someone explain to me why he solved it this way. I thought you would have just multiplied 1/3 and 3/4. Thanks!

Think of Percent = is/of
plug the numbers in: Percent = .33/.75 = .44 or 44%

Alright, thanks! I think it could be worded better, like this:

What percent of 3/4 is 1/3?

Alright, thanks! I think it could be worded better, like this:

What percent of 3/4 is 1/3?

(1/3)/(3/4) is the same as saying

(1/3) * (4/3)

4/3 is the reciprocal of 3/4 and whenever you divide fractions you multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator!

Yeah, I know that! 😉 Thanks.
