if a class collects $155.00 toward a fundraiser goal of $775.00 what fraction reprisents towards it goal? plz help me with my homework!!!
To find the fraction that represents the amount collected towards the goal, you need to divide the amount collected by the goal.
Fraction = Amount collected / Goal
In this case, the amount collected is $155 and the goal is $775.
Fraction = $155 / $775
To simplify this fraction, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of $155 and $775, which is $155 (since $155 divides both $155 and $775 evenly).
Fraction = $155 / $775
Dividing both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by $155:
Fraction = ($155 / $155) / ($775 / $155)
= 1 / 5
Therefore, the fraction that represents the amount collected towards the goal is 1/5.
155/775
First reduce that fraction to its lowest terms. I first get 31/155. That can be reduced again by dividing 155 by 31.
