1. D) 17%

2. 200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first question we can turn the information into a fraction, with the total number of pieces of fruit in the bowl (12) as the denominator and the number of apples (2) as the numerator.

Then, divide:

2/12 = 0.17 = 17%

For the second question, we set up a proportion. We know that 60 miles corresponds to 30% and the whole distance of the trip, x, corresponds to 100%

Cross multiply and solve:

60 * 100 = 30x

6000 = 30x

200 = x

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour
