Melissa has a student dictionary on her desk. Her dictionary contains 99 pages. In this dictionary, more words start with the letter "S" than any other letter, occupying 11 full pages.

If she opens up the dictionary at random, what is the probability that the page contains words starting with "S"?

Answer:

I believe it is 1/9 or 11.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

11/99 /(divided by) 11 = 1/9

1/9 converted to a decimal is 0.1 (it's repeating- I am not sure how to do that on brainly w/ the fancy - over it, so it's 0.111111111...)

so as a percent, it makes it 11.1% (repeating) or 11 [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]% (which is a more exact solution)

now if you need a ratio, it would be 1:9

hope this helps :)
