Answer:
62.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Mike's whole drink is 16 ounces.
If he drinks 6 ounces, that means we are subtracting 6 from the total (16 ounces)
16 - 6 = 10
Now that we have 10 ounces left, we have to find out what percent that is out of the total (16 ounces)
To do this, we must create a fraction: 10/16
You can simplify this by dividing both sides by 2, getting us 5/8
Now, you can either use long division, or a calculator or know that 1/8 is .125, then multiply that by 5 to get .625
Now, the question is asking us for a percent, not a decimal, so we must convert .625 to a percent by multipling everything by 100. This just means moving every number to the right 2 (keep the decimal still)
Once done, you will get 62.5% left!
Let 16/16 represent the complete fraction of the energy drink. Since Mike drinks 6 ounces, we can subtract 6/16 to find that:
16/16 - 6/16 = 10/16
There are 10/16 ounces left of the energy drink. To convert this to a decimal, we divide accordingly:
10 / 16 = 0.625
Therefore, approximately 63% of the energy drink remains.
16/16 - 6/16 = 10/16
There are 10/16 ounces left of the energy drink. To convert this to a decimal, we divide accordingly:
10 / 16 = 0.625
Therefore, approximately 63% of the energy drink remains.
