Afamily spends $500 every month on food. if the family's income each month is $2500, what percent of the family's income is spent on food?

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

500 divided by 2500 and converted into a fraction

69/4 or 17.25 or 17 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

if 5 3/4 miles is in 1/3 of an hour, and you are looking for miles per hour,

You need to multiply the mile distance by 3 to get the mph (miles per hour), because 1/3 times 3 is 1, and the 1/3 is miles, so 3 one thirds miles is 1 hour.

5 3/4 can turn into 23/4

because it is most likely easier to turn the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

5 x 4 + 3

20 + 3

23     /4

23 x 3 = 69

and 69 should be over 4.

It can also be simplified to 17 1/4

because 17 times 4 is 68 and 1/4 times 4 is 1

68 + 1 is also 69.
