in a recent season NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson won 6 of the 36 total races held to the nearest thousand ,find the part of races he won

Verified Answer :

so, the fraction of races that he won was:

\(\frac{6}{36}\) : you need ti divide the number of occurrences by the number of possibilities.

We can simplify this:
\(\frac{1}{6}\).

When we write it in decimals until the closest place, it's:

0.167 or 16.667%


1.       Jimmie Johnson is a Nascar
Driver. Lately he won 6 times within 36 races.

So now, we need to find the part of the races that he won.

We have 6 over 36 as the given numbers

=> 6 / 36 since this is a fraction, we need to convert it into decimals to
find the answer.

In converting fraction to decimals, we need to divide the denominator from
the  numerator

=> 6 divided by 36

=>  0.16666…. the answer is a
repeating number.

Now we only need to round it off to the nearest thousandths

=> 0.167
