herky found that 8 out of every 100 beans in his garden were nibbled by rabbits. how many beans can he expect to be damaged if there are 450 beans in his garden? 72 beans 18 beans 36 beans 108 beans

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the proportion of nibbled beans

The proportion of nibbled beans is $\frac{8}{100}$.

Step2: Find the number of damaged beans in 450 beans

Multiply the total number of beans (450) by the proportion. So, $450\times\frac{8}{100}=\frac{450\times8}{100}=\frac{3600}{100} = 36$.

Answer:

36 beans
