An adults body has 206 bones. 106 of these bones are feet, hand, wrists, and ankles. What fraction of adults's bones is in the feet, ankles, hands, and wrists? Write in simpleist form.
106/206 = 53/103
So if the total number of bones in the body is 206, that will be your denominator in the fraction. The 106 bones will be the numerator because that is the portion of the total that you are trying to simplify. 106/206 can be reduced by a factor of 2 which gives you 53/103. Your final answer is 53/103.
the answer is 53/103
if you are doing this on notebook you write

To find the fraction of an adult's bones that are in the feet, ankles, hands, and wrists, we need to divide the number of bones in feet, ankles, hands, and wrists (106) by the total number of bones in an adult's body (206).
So, the fraction can be calculated as:
106 / 206
To simplify this fraction, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (106) and the denominator (206). In this case, the GCD is 2.
So, dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCD, we get:
106 ÷ 2 / 206 ÷ 2
Which simplifies to:
53 / 103
Therefore, the fraction of an adult's bones in the feet, ankles, hands, and wrists is 53/103 in simplest form.
