Question

`18 1/3%` of 120 is what?

Answer 1

`color(crimson)(18(1/3)% * 120 = 22`

Explanation:

`18(1/3)% * 120 = x`

`x = ((18(1/3))/100) * 120`

`x = (55 / (3 * 100)) * 120`

`x = ((11 * color(red)(cancel5)) / (color(green)(cancel3) * color(blue)(cancel20) * color(red)(cancel5)))* (color(green)(cancel3) * 2 * color(blue)(cancel20)) = color(brown)(22)`
