Answer :
Final answer:
The scenarios equivalent to 25% are when you have 3 out of 12, 5 out of 20, and 8 out of 32. In each of these cases, dividing the first number by the second equals 0.25, which represents 25%.
Explanation:
To identify which situations are equal to 25%, we need to consider each given scenario and calculate the percentage they represent. We know that 25% is the same as saying one fourth or 0.25 in decimal terms. Therefore, we should divide the first number by the second in each scenario and check if the result is equal to 0.25.
12 out of 60: 12 ÷ 60 = 0.20 which is not 25%.
3 out of 12: 3 ÷ 12 = 0.25 which is exactly 25%.
5 out of 20: 5 ÷ 20 = 0.25, also 25%.
9 out of 18: 9 ÷ 18 = 0.50, which is 50%, not 25%.
8 out of 32: 8 ÷ 32 = 0.25, again 25%.
Accordingly, the scenarios where 3 out of 12, 5 out of 20, and 8 out of 32 equate to 25%.
