Question

For a science experiment, students need to find 25% of 60 grams. Jada says, "I can find this by calculating 14 of 60." Andre says, "25% of 60 means 25100⋅60." Lin says both of their methods work. Do you agree with Lin? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

I agree with Lin who says both of their methods work.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a science experiment, students need to find 25% of 60 grams.

Now, Jada says, " I can find this by calculating $\frac{1}{4}$ of 60".

So, he is correct because 25% means $\frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4}$, so 25% of 60 grams is equivalent to  $\frac{1}{4}$ of 60.

Again, Andre says, "25% of 60 means $\frac{25}{100}. 60$".

Therefore, he is also correct.

So, I agree with Lin who says both of their methods work. (Answer)
