Question

A running back was the MVP (most valuable player) in 0.14 of the first 50 Super Bowls. A. What percent of the MVPs were running backs? % were running backs. B. What fraction of the MVPs were not running backs? Were not running backs.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 14%.

B. $\frac{43}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a running back was the MVP (most valuable player) in 0.14 of the first 50 Super Bowls.

A. To find the percent, when the MVPs were running backs, we need to convert 0.14 into percent by multiplying by 100 as:

$0.14\times 100=14\%$

Therefore, 14 percent of the MVPs were running backs.

B. To find the fraction of the MVPs were not running backs, we will subtract 0.14 from 1 to find the MVPs, who were not running backs. Finally, we will convert the answer into fraction as:

$1-0.14=0.86$

Now, we will multiply and divide 0.86 by 100 as:

$0.86\times \frac{100}{100}=\frac{86}{100}$

Reduce the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 2:

$\frac{43}{50}$

Therefore, $\frac{43}{50}$ of the MVPs were not running backs.
