Explanation	Calculations	Help
$We define F as the fraction corresponding to "52% of participants consumed fruits daily" and B as the fraction corresponding to "8% consumed both fruits and vegetables daily".$	$F = \frac{52}{100} B = \frac{8}{100}$	Theory & Tactics Method Card TRANS1-A Click to view full details Theory & Tactics Method Card TRANS2-A Click to view full details
$We calculate the fraction of fruit consumers who also consumed vegetables daily by dividing B by F.$	$\frac{B}{F} = \frac{\frac{8}{100}}{\frac{52}{100}} = \frac{8}{52}$	Theory & Tactics Method Card FDPR0-D Click to view full details
$We simplify the fraction by cancelling the common factor.$	$\frac{8}{52} = \frac{4 \times 2}{4 \times 13} = \frac{2}{13}$	Theory & Tactics Method Card FDPR2-A Click to view full details
$We convert the simplified fraction to a percentage and round to the nearest tenth.$	$\frac{2}{13} \times 100 = \frac{200}{13} \approx 15.38 = 15.4%$	Theory & Tactics Method Card FDPR3-D Click to view full details
