24) All percents are numbers with the decimal moved 2 to the right. So if you have 275%, move the decimal to the left twice to get a factor of 2.75. that means that the puppy is 2.75 times heavier at 4 months than it was at 2 months. Since you need the answer as a mixed fraction, your answer is;
[tex] 2.75=2+\frac{3}{4}=2~\frac{3}{4} [/tex]
28) If 6 of 75 trees are 30+ feet tall and you need to know how many are under, subtract 6 from 75 to get (75 - 6) = 69 trees under 30ft tall.
You're looking for the percent of trees under 30ft tall, so divide the number of trees <30ft by the total number of trees to get;
[tex] \frac{69}{75}= .92[/tex]
Move the decimal 2 to the right to get 92%.
Your answer is that 92% of trees is under 30ft.
