Daniel ate 0.55 of a candy bar. which fraction represents the part of the candy bar that daniel ate? a. 10/22 b. 11/20 c. 2/5 d. 3/4 e. 11/40

The answer is B 11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

To transform a decimal to a fraction you must do the following:

1. Multiply by an specific power of 10 until your decimal becomes a whole number. In this case 0.55 we multiply by 10 ^2 or 100 and we obtain 55.

2 Divide the decimal by this same power of 10 so that you do not change the original value. For example

0.55 *(100/100) = 55/100 As you see Im multiplying and dividing by 100 ( thats equivalent to 1 so it doesnt change the original number)

3 Simplify the fraction

To simplify your fraction you must find the Greatest Common Factor of 55 and 100. For doing this, you only perform a prime factorization. Divide 55 and 100 by the smallest common prime factor, besides 1. (For this case is 5) until you arrive to two number without common prime factors.

55/5 = 11

100/5 = 20

As 11 and 20 have no common prime factors it is the most simplified fraction  

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
