If I have 24 peas growing in a garden and 6 of them are white, what percentage are white?

What is 6 as a percent of 24?

Asked by Bettyboop2

Answer (2)

so 6/24 can be simplified to (1 6)/(4 6) factor out the 6/6 and get 6/24=1/4 we percent means 'parts out of 100' so 1/4 of 100=25%

In a garden with 24 peas where 6 are white, 25% of the peas are white. This is calculated by simplifying the fraction 24 6 ​ to 4 1 ​ and then multiplying by 100. Therefore, 6 is 25% of 24.
