Question

This year, Benny is 12 years old, and his mom is 48 years old. A. What percent of his mom’s age is Benny’s age?

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at it, you could see that 12 could go into 48

so 48 divided 12 = 4

since benny is only 12 years old it would take 4 times the age of billy to get to his mother's age. but there is only one benny so it would equal to one out of four which is: 1/4

think of 1/4 as quarters. 4 quarters make a dollar, and one (1) quarter out of a dollar (4) is equal to 25 cents

also 25 percent is a quarter to 100

and thats how your answer is going to be 25%

hope that was helpful! :)
