Twenty-five percent of three dozen plants are blooming.
a. What fraction of the total number of plants are not blooming?
b. How many plants are not blooming?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. 3/4  b. 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 25% percent are blooming, since 100-25 = 75, 75% aren't blooming.

Since 1 / 4 = 0.25, 3/4 = 0.75, so for question a. 3/4 of the plants aren't blooming.

For question b, we know there are three dozen plants, which is 3 * 12 = 36 plants.

75% of 36 = 36 * 0.75 = 27 plants aren't blooming.
