Answer :
Final answer:
Only situations B (6 out of 15), C (10 out of 25), and E (32 out of 80) are equal to 40%. You calculate this by converting the fractions into percentages and identifying which ones are equivalent to 40%.
Explanation:
The question asks which of the provided options are equivalent to 40%. To find out which situations are equal to 40%, we need to convert the given ratios into percentages.
For each option, we will divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
- A) 5 out of 20 can be calculated as (5/20) * 100 = 25%, which is not equal to 40%.
- B) 6 out of 15 can be calculated as (6/15) * 100 = 40%, which is equal to 40%.
- C) 10 out of 25 can be calculated as (10/25) * 100 = 40%, which is equal to 40%.
- D) 45 out of 90 can be calculated as (45/90) * 100 = 50%, which is not equal to 40%.
- E) 32 out of 80 can be calculated as (32/80) * 100 = 40%, which is equal to 40%.
Thus, the situations in options B, C, and E are the ones that are equivalent to 40%.
