Transcript: Finding the Right Crystal
MATT: Remember what the sign said? The crystal has to be between sixty-five percent and eight-five percent orange - or it won't work!
DIGIT: You're right! We gotta find out what percent of these crystals is orange!
MATT: Let's do what we did before! Count the stripes to get the fraction of each crystal that's orange.
INEZ: Yeah, then we can turn the fraction into a percentage - like we did with the scores!
JACKIE: This one is one half orange...
INEZ: This one is three fifths and the last one is three/fourths.
ROXY: Now we gotta turn those fractions into fur-scents, I-I mean per-cents...right?
INEZ: Yep...parts of a hundred. The first is easy. One half is the same as fifty over a hundred...or fifty percent!
MATT: And three over five is the same as how many out of 100? Let's see 3 over 5 is 6 over 10...And 6 over 10 is sixty over 100 or 60 percent.
DIGIT: The last one is three over four. Which is, uh...what part of a hundred?
INEZ: Well 4 times 25 is 100...and 3 times 25 is 75. So that's 75 over a 100, which is the same as 75 percent.
DIGIT: Percents really help when you have to compare different fractions.
MATT: They sure do! And only one of these crystals is between sixty-five and eight-five percent orange...the seventy-five percenter!
