6. Donna adds 400 ml (milliliters) of water to 100 ml of coffee. What percentage of Donna's drink is coffee?

9514 1404 393

  20%

Step-by-step explanation:

100 mL of the drink is coffee

The total amount of drink is 100 mL +400 mL = 500 mL. Then the fraction that is coffee is ...

  coffee/total = (100 mL)/(500 mL) = 1/5 = 1/5 × 100% = 20%

20% of Donna's drink is coffee.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
