    7/11

    Step-by-step explanation:

    "mathematics" has 11 letters total. remove the vowels (aeiou) and you're left with 7 letters, therefore 7 out of the 11 letters are consonants.

    7/11 or 64%

    Step-by-step explanation: Since there are 11 letters in the word mathematics, and 7 consonants, you have the fraction 7/11. however, if it's required as a percentage, We know that

    7/11

    is the same as

    7:11

    Then using

    Long Division for 7 divided by 11

    gives us

    0.636

    Converting our number to a percentage:

    0.636*100

    is 64% rounded to the nearest 10. Rounding to the nearest hundredth, you'd get 63.64%
