He didn't eat any of the carton. Sensible Jeremy! He knew that cardboard would be rather indigestible and that ice-cream would taste much better than cardboard ever could.
What he did eat was 3 x 100 / 16 % of the ice-cream = 18.75%

Since Jeremy ate 3 ounce of ice-cream out of the 16 ounce of ice-cream which makes up the carton, then
3/16 is the fraction showing the relationship of what he ate over the total present.
and the percentage of the fraction of what he ate is therfore
3/16*100
=3/16*100/1
which when cross multiplied is
=3*100/16*1
=300/16
=18.75%

He ate 3/16 = 0.1875 = 18.75% of the carton.
To convert a fraction into a percentage, first perform the division to get a decimal result. Then multipy the decimal by 100%.

very easy
16 ounce - 100 %
3 ounce - ?
= 3 (100) / 16 = 300/16 = 18.75 %

Easy way to remember how to figure out percentages:
3/16 = x/100. Solve for x
3/16 * 100 = x
300/16 = x
18.75 = x

3/16 since you should divide the amount (in ounce) he ate over the total amount... the answer is .18 since youre looking for the percentage, you should multiply it to 100%...

Mint chocolate chip is one in all my all time favorites. The husband does the carton and spoon element. I usually purely have 2 scoops. yet i do no longer think of i understand all of us besides my sister who can consume below 2 cups of the scrumptious stuff! We make our very own and this is confusing to no longer consume the excellent element. My lactose intolerance facilitates to chop back that however... ewwwww.....

%=(3/16)*100%=18.75%
If u take 16 oz=100%
then 1 oz=100/16%
3 oz=3*(100/16)%=18.75%
