Question

You work at a coffee house. Roasted coffee beans retain approximately 3/5 of their initial weight . Approximately what percent of their initial weight do they retain

Answer 1

60%

Convert the fraction into percent
3/5= 0.6 = 60%

Answer 2

60%

Roasted beans retain 3/5 of their initial weight, which is equivalent to 60% when converted to a percent.

3/5(×2) = 6/10 (×10)= 60/100, so it equals to 60%.
