56 first-graders and 24 other students attended a school assembly. What percentage of the students at the assembly were first-graders?

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the ratio of first graders to students as 56:24.

We have to find the total amount of students so we add those two up and we get 70

Out of 70, there are 56 first graders, so we can write that as a fraction which will be 56/70

To get this to a percent, we have to get it so the denominator is 100, I can do some weird thing, multiplying a decimal over decimal to get to the answer, but that isn't what you would most likely do

The best thing to do in this scenario is to simplify this equation so it has a denominator of 10, so we do divide by 7 on the bottom, divide by 7 on the top, and we get the more simplified fraction, 8/10. And 8/10 is also equal to 80/100 which makes the percent 80%

step-by-step explanation:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
