do you know what .25 is as a fraction?

OpenStudy (freckles):

if not how many quarters are in a dollar?

OpenStudy (princeevee):

4

OpenStudy (freckles):

so .25 as a fraction is 1/4

OpenStudy (study312):

also 1 รท 4 = 0.25

OpenStudy (freckles):

so you are being asking which number is between 1/6 and 1/4

OpenStudy (freckles):

it might be able to visualize better if you wrote these fractions over a common multiple such as 24

OpenStudy (freckles):

1/6 =what/24 you know 6*4 is 24 so if you multiply the denominator by 4 then you multiply the numerator by 4 to get the what of that fraction

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\frac{1}{6} =\frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{4}{4}=\frac{?}{24}\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

once you answer that question answer this next question \[\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{?}{?}=\frac{...}{24}\]

OpenStudy (princeevee):

4/24

OpenStudy (freckles):

right 1/6=4/24 and 1/4=?

OpenStudy (princeevee):

25
