If the ratio of paintings to paintbrushes is 11:9, what percent of the items are paintbrushes. A.30% B. 35% C.40% D.45%

D. 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 11 paintings and 9 paintbrushes, added together you have a total of 20 items. There are 9 paintbrushes and 20 items in total which is 9/20. 9/20 as a percentage is 45%

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
