The Forever Chocolate Chocolate company specializes in 3 types of chocolates: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. Of the three, 30% is dark and 0.5 is white. Milk chocolate makes up what fraction of the total amount of chocolate Forever Chocolate Chocolate makes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Explanation:

Dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate are 100% of what chocolate The Forever Chocolate Company makes.

The equivalent of 100% as a fraction is [tex]\frac{1}{1}[/tex].

White chocolate

if 0.5 is white chocolate, this means 0.5 of 1

that is, [tex]\frac{0.5}{1}[/tex] =0.5 0r [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, half of the chocolate they make is white chocolate.

White chocolate represents 50%

They make 30% dark chocolate

Milk chocolate

Milk chocolate makes up the remaining,

100% - 80% = 20%

Milk chocolate represents 20%

Converting 20% to fraction:

[tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] or 0.2

Answer: The milk chocolate makes up 20%.

Explanation: 0.5=50%+30%=80% 100%-80%=20%
