If two out of five Canadians read at least 10 books a year, what percentage does that represent?

  1. 20%

  2. 30%

  3. 40%

  4. 50%

The correct answer is: 40%

To determine the percentage of Canadians who read at least 10 books a year, we first need to understand the ratio given in the question. If two out of five Canadians are reading at least 10 books yearly, we can express this as a fraction: 2 out of 5 can be written as 2/5. To convert this fraction into a percentage, we multiply it by 100. Performing the calculation: \[ \frac{2}{5} \times 100 = 40\% \] This indicates that 40% of Canadians read at least 10 books annually. The calculation shows that the fraction represents a significant portion of the total group being considered, which is a common way to express statistical data such as reading habits. The other options, while they reflect different percentages, do not accurately represent the fraction of 2 out of 5 when converted to percentage terms. Thus, the correct answer emphasizes a clear understanding of fractional representation and percentage conversion.
