Answer 1

Answer:

28 percent of volcanoes are known to be active in that region.

Explanation:

Total number of volcanoes in a region = 449

Total number of active volcanoes in that region = 128

Percent of an active volcanoes :

$\frac{\text{active volcanoes}}{\text{total volcanoes}}\times 100$

$=\frac{128}{449}\times 100=28.51\%\approx 28\%$

28 percent of volcanoes are known to be active in that region.
