Answer 2

Answer:

$28.8\:\: \mathrm{or}\:\: 28\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

48% of 60

$\frac{48}{100} \times \frac{60}{1}$

Cross divide; cancel the zeros in 100 and 60

$\frac{48}{10} \times \frac{6}{1}$

Divide 10 and 6 by 2

10 ÷ 2 = 5

6 ÷ 2 = 3

$\frac{48}{5} \times \frac{3}{1}$

Simplify

48 × 3 = 144

5 × 1 = 5

$\frac{144}{5}$

Simplify

$\frac{144}{5} = 28.8\:\: \mathrm{or}\:\: 28\frac{4}{5}$
