Question

Please help!

Answer 1

sorry wait one second

Answer 2

Its ok. Take your time :)

Answer 3

\[4\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } -( \frac{ 1 }{ 9 } \times \frac{ 3 }{ 4 })\]

Answer 4

We would first work out the fraction in the paranthesis...we would multiply across and simplify it to not make it complicated...

\(\Huge{\frac{1\times 3}{9 \times 4}=?}\)

Answer 5

1?

Answer 6

Not quite.

\(\Huge{\frac{1 \times 3}{9 \times 4}=\frac{3}{36}}\)

We would now simplify it...we see that we can divide by `3`....

\(\Huge{\frac{3 \div 3}{36 \div 3}=\frac{1}{12}}\)

Do you understand my process?

Answer 7

Yes i do.

Answer 8

Great!

Now we would see on how equation looks like now...

\(\Huge{4\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{12}}\)

We would need to change the proper fraction into an improper fraction.

\(\Huge{4\frac{1}{3} \rightarrow ?}\)

What would be the improper form of \(\Large{4\frac{1}{3}}\)

Answer 9

\[\frac{ 13 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 10

\[\frac{ 52 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 11

Ooops that disappeared.

Thats correct :)

Now we can subtract them both...

\(\Huge{\frac{52}{12}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{?}{12}}\)

What would that equal?

Answer 12

51/12??

Answer 13

Correct :)

Now we would get the simplified form of the fraction by dividing by 3...

\(\Huge{\frac{51 \div 3}{12 \div 3}=?}\)

What would our final answer be?

Answer 14

17/4?

Answer 15

Correct :)

Now \(\LARGE{\frac{17}{4} \rightarrow 4\frac{1}{4}}\) is its mixed number form.

Answer 16

Sorry my explanation took long.

Answer 17

Thank you so much! and no your totally fine i just need to get the concept.:P

Answer 18

I am glad to be of help :)

Answer 19

Answer 22

Answer 23

Two fifths of the 45 fish in the tank were guppies.

(a) How many of the fish were guppies.

Answer 24

To solve we can multiply the total fish into the fraction...

\(\Huge{\frac{45 \times 2}{5}}\)

Answer 25

so 45 x 2 = 90 then do i divide or would it be 90/5?

Answer 26

Yes you would do that :)

Answer 27

which one?

Answer 28

Sorry if I was not specific...the divide one ^^

Answer 29

Okay, and your fine:)

Answer 30

so that would be 18.
