Question 3

A fitness center is covering a 240 ft. by 60 ft. wall with a 240 ft. by 20 ft. mirror. The mirror covers _______% of the wall. (Enter numerical values only. If necessary, round to nearest ones place.)

Accepted Answer

33% We are asked to find the percentage of the wall that the mirror covers. To calculate this, we would normally first find the area of the wall and the mirror in order to compare the areas. However, the wall and mirror both have the same length (240 feet), so we only need to compare the widths. Step 1. Create a fraction that compares the width of the two objects. The mirror is the smaller part and the wall is considered the whole part. We know the "whole" of a fraction is the denominator, so our fraction would be: ²⁰⁄₆₀ Next, we reduce our fraction to its simplest term: ²⁰⁄₆₀ → ²⁄₆ → ¹⁄₃ Step 2. We can convert any fraction to percent by dividing the numerator by the denominator and moving the decimal two spaces to the right. ¹⁄₃ = 0.33 = 33% However, since you will not be permitted to use a calculator on the real exam, we recommend you memorize the fraction - decimal - percent conversion chart below.
