Answer:
The answer is B. 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
50,000×0.20= 10,000
10,000÷50,000= 0.20
0.2= 20%
Given:
Number of bees in late fall = 50,000 bees
Number of bees after winter = 10,000 bees
To find:
Percent of bees that live through winter
Steps:
To find the percent of bees that live through winter,
percent of bees that live through winter = [tex]\frac{Number 'of' bees' after' winter}{Number 'of' bees' in' late 'fall}*100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{10,000}{50,000}*100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{5}*100[/tex] (the zeros get canceled out)
= [tex]\frac{100}{5}[/tex]
= 20%
Therefore only b) 20% of bees survive through winter.
