In a race, 41 out of the 50 bicyclists finished in less than 38 minutes. What percent of bicyclists finished the race in less than 38 minutes? Write an equivalent fraction to find the percent.
to find the percent, you will double everything because you only have 50 as the base and doubled its 100. 41 times 2 it’s equal to 82 so 82% of the bicyclists finished in less than 38 minutes. As a fraction it would be 41 over 50.
