Daisy is practicing trivia. She gets 12 out of 20 questions correct.

What percentage of the trivia questions does she get right?

Answer :

Daisy gets 60% of the trivia questions correct.

To find out what percentage of the trivia questions Daisy gets right, we first need to convert the number of questions she answered correctly into a fraction. Daisy got 12 out of 20 questions correct. The fraction representing the correct answers is then 12/20.

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 4. This gives us:

[tex]\[ \frac{12}{20} = \frac{12 \div 4}{20 \div 4} = \frac{3}{5} \][/tex]

Now, to convert this fraction into a percentage, we multiply it by 100:

[tex]\[ \frac{3}{5} \times 100\% = 60\% \][/tex]

Therefore, Daisy gets 60% of the trivia questions correct.
