JAIME MAKES $150 A WEEK. HE SPENT $112. WHAT FRACTION OF HIS WEEKLY PAY HAS HE SPENT?
112/150 spent
That fraction can be simplified.
To determine what fraction of his weekly pay Jaime has spent, we need to compare the amount he has spent to his weekly pay.
Jaime makes $150 a week and has spent $112. To find the fraction, we divide the amount spent by the weekly pay:
Fraction spent = Amount spent / Weekly pay
Fraction spent = $112 / $150
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2:
Fraction spent = $56 / $75
Therefore, Jaime has spent 56/75 of his weekly pay.
