Justin has ridden 34 miles of a bike course. The course is 40 miles long. What percentage of the course has Justin ridden so far?

Sagot :

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Justin has ridden 34 miles out of 40 miles. This can be expressed as a fraction, 34/40.

If you carry out the division 34 ÷ 40, you get 0.85. This is the proportion of the course that Justin has ridden, and is always less than one. To convert this to a percentage, you multiply it by 100:

0.85 * 100 = 85%
