Question

Duo makes 65%, percent of his dumplings with vegetarian fillings. What fraction of Duo's dumplings have vegetarian fillings?

Answer 1

Vegetarian Fillings = 65%

Find the percentage in fraction:

Vegetarian Fillings = 65/100

Simplify it by dividing by 5:

Vegetarian Fillings = (65÷5)/(100÷5)

Vegetarian Fillings = 13/20

Answer: 13/20 of Duo's dumplings have vegetarian fillings.

Answer 2

According to given information, we have

Portion of dumplings with vegetarian fillings = 65 %

                                                                         = 65/100

            Dividing both Numerator and Denominator by 5, we get

Portion of dumplings with vegetarian fillings = 13/20   ( This is the fraction in the simplest form )

So 13 parts out of equal 20 parts of a dumpling consist of vegetarian filling.
