If you have successfully put 10 bolts into bins and this represents 1/3 of the total job, what percent of the job is complete?

30%

33%

To determine the percentage of the job that is complete, we start with the information given: putting 10 bolts into bins represents 1/3 of the total job. To find out what percent this is, we can set up the following relationship.

If 10 bolts correspond to 1/3 of the entire job, we can find the total job by multiplying the quantity of bolts by the reciprocal of the fraction. The total number of bolts for the entire job is calculated as follows:

10 bolts x 3 (since 1/3 means that 10 bolts is one part out of three total parts) = 30 bolts total for the job.

Now, to find the percentage of the job that has been completed, we take the number of bolts put into the bins (10 bolts) and divide it by the total number of bolts for the job (30 bolts):

(10 bolts / 30 bolts) x 100% = (1/3) x 100% = 33.33%.

Since we are asked for a percentage, we can round this number to the nearest whole percentage, which gives us approximately 33%. This aligns with the choice that represents 33%, confirming that this is the correct answer.
