  • Challenge Question #1

    Joan Berger, East Hills School, Roslyn, NY (K12ROBZJ@vaxc.hofstra.edu)
    Fri, 14 Feb 1997 10:14:54 -0400 (EDT)

    This is Gabriel Brotman, a member of the eagle team from Mrs. Berger's 5th
    grade class.
    If I wore a backpack that weighed 2% of my body weight, my backpack would weigh
    2.44 lbs. Mrs. Berger showed us how to find a percent of a number. I changed
    the 2% into the equivalent decimal, .02 , and then multiplied my weight by it
    and got 2.44 lbs.
